BNAIC was organized by the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS), under the auspices of the Benelux Association for Artificial Intelligence (BNVKI) and the Dutch Research School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS). For the proceedings, we selected high-quality papers from BNAIC itself, but also papers from the collocated Benelearn conference, based on quality and thematic fit. From the BNAIC submissions, we selected the Type A regular papers that had been accepted for oral presentation at BNAIC, which were also extended/revised for the proceedings. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. For the proceedings, we were able to include nine high-quality submissions from BNAIC. Further, we were able to include two high-quality contributions from the collocated Benelearn conference. For the BNAIC 2018 proceedings, we would like to reiterate the credits and extend our thanks to many who supported the organization. The BNAIC 2018 conference would not have been possible without the support and efforts of many. We thank the members of the Program Committee for their constructive and scholarly reviews. We are grateful to Arjan van den Born, Chris Emmery, Arjan Haring, and Laura Niemeijer for their reliable administrative support and local organization/coordination at JADS. We also wish to thank all student volunteers for enthusiastically helping out in many ways. A special thanks goes to Eric Postma for his invaluable support for BNAIC 2018 at JADS in many ways behind the scenes. Finally, we are grateful to our sponsors for their generous support of the conference: – Target Holding – DIKW Intelligence – SNN Adaptive Intelligence – SIKS – BNVKI – SKBS July 2019 Martin Atzmueller Wouter Duivesteijn Organization Program Committee Stylianos Asteriadis University of Maastricht, The Netherlands Martin Atzmueller Tilburg University, The Netherlands Reyhan Aydogan Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Floris Bex Utrecht University, The Netherlands Albert Bifet LTCI, Telecom ParisTech, France Tibor Bosse Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands Bert Bredeweg University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Tom Claassen Radboud University, The Netherlands Walter Daelemans University of Antwerp, The Netherlands Gregoire Danoy University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Mehdi Dastani Utrecht University, The Netherlands Jesse Davis Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Victor de Boer Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands Marc Denecker Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Wouter Duivesteijn Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Ad Feelders Utrecht University, The Netherlands George H.

  • NVKI Enterprise Information Systems As a Research Area Adriaan De Groot
    December 2006 Vol. 23, No. 6 ISSN 1566-8266 25 Years (B)NVKI Enterprise Information Systems as a Research Area Adriaan de Groot (1914- NEWSLETTER 2006) - An Obituary News from the Belgium- Netherlands Association for Artificial Intelligence 25 Years (B)NVKI Editor-in-Chief 2006 was a good year for AI in Belgium and The Netherlands. As witnessed in the previous issue we were glad to have a very nice BNAIC again, this year in Namur. Also we were happy to celebrate 50 years of Artificial Intelligence. In the Netherlands AI really started 25 years later, in 1981, with the foundation of the NVKI (the Dutch Association for Artificial Intelligence). See Jaap van den Herik’s contribution on pp. 127-130 for a more detailed account of the starting time of our association. We already celebrated the 25th anniversary of our (B)NVKI during the BNAIC, and now again in this jubilee issue of your newsletter. The (B)NVKI has known a total of seven chairmen in these 25 years (see front cover). A lucky number indeed. They managed to transform the association from a small but enthousiastic club to the thriving association of today. Her main achievement is the yearly organisation of a conference (since 1988) and the publication of six issues per year of the newsletter (also since 1988). The most important decision taken undoubtedly is the joining with the Belgian AI society, resulting in the addition of the B to the names NVKI and NAIC (see especially Joost Kok’s contribution on pp. 130-131 of this issue).

Professor Hendrik Jacob (Jaap) van den Herik (Rotterdam, 8 oktober 1947) is a Dutch computer scientist, and a professor at the University of Tilburg. Van den Heriks research interests lie in the elds of agents, computer networks, computer systems, computer science, knowledge management, articial intel- ligence, and game theory. He the original founder of the BNVKI. What is your academic background and how were you drawn to the questions you are dealing with now? I am a trained mathematician. My main topic was partial dierential equations, to be precise “the spectra of dierential operators.” Together with my friend Peter Nathans (who passed away in 2015) we built computer programs to triangulate the ma- trix representation of the dierential operator.

  • Liber Amicorum
    Liber Amicorum H. JAAP VAN DEN HERIK THE TILBURG YEARS This publication has been made possible by the Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication (TiCC). Preface Those who have the privilege to know him personally all agree on one thing: there is never a dull moment when Jaap is around. With boundless energy, a drive for per- fection, infectious humour, and a sharp mind, Jaap shapes and influences the people around him. Much of what he does is the result of two of his characteristics: his compassion for others and his devotion to teaching young academics. This volume, written by his former Ph.D.-students, bears witness to Jaap’s character. Jaap van den Herik started his academic career by studying Mathematics. His wide interests allowed him to move on to Computer Science, and subsequently to Law. In 1987 he was appointed as Professor of Computer Science in Maastricht, a position that he combined with a Professorship of Law and Computer Science in Leiden a year later. In 2008, Jaap moved to Tilburg where he became Professor of Computer Science; there, he was the driving force behind the newly established Tilburg center for Creative Computing (TiCC), of which he served as the first director. During his Tilburg years (from September 2008 up to January 2016), Jaap’s inexhaustible energy and contagious enthusiasm led to a large number of inspiring scientific projects and a steady outflow of Ph.D. theses on a wide variety of topics. The authors of these theses, the so-called Tilburg promoti, have in many ways been affected by the unique and stimulating supervision of Jaap.
