Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence, Special Sessions I, 20th International Conference

The present book brings together experience, current work, and promising future trends associated with distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and their application in order to provide efficient solutions to real problems. DCAI 2023 is a forum to present applications of innovative techniques for studying and solving complex problems in artificial intelligence and computing areas. This year’s technical program presents both high quality and diversity, with contributions in well-established and evolving areas of research. Specifically, 108 papers were submitted, by authors from 31 different countries representing a truly “wide area network” of research activity. The DCAI’23 technical program has selected 50 full papers in the Special Sessions (ASET, AIMPM, AI4CS, CLIRAI, TECTONIC, PSO-ML, SmartFoF, IoTalentum) and, as in past editions, it will be special issues in ranked journals. This symposium is organized by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the University of Minho (Portugal). The authors like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, National Associations (AEPIA, APPIA), and the sponsors (AIR Institute).

Democratic Practice

At a time of growing concern over the fate of contemporary democracy this book shows how vast differences between countries in forms of political conduct, and taken for granted assumptions, determine what democracies actually accomplish. In Democratic Practice, Robert M. Fishman elucidates why some democracies include the economically underprivileged, and cultural others within the circles of political relevance that set policies and the political agenda, whereas others exclude them. On the basis of in-depth research on Portugal and Spain, Fishman develops a theoretically innovative explanation for the breadth of democratic inclusion and draws out large implications for democracies everywhere. Democratic Practice examines the record of two countries that began the worldwide turn to democracy in the 1970s, showing how and why basic assumptions about what democracy is, and how political actors should treat one another, diverged. The book offers detailed empirical evidence on how an inclusive approach to democratic politics provides major benefits not only for the poor and excluded but also for others, drawing large lessons for contemporary democracies.

Práctica democrática e inclusión

Robert M. Fishman analiza las dinámicas políticas actuales de España y Portugal desde la Transición ofreciendo una interpretación novedosa que explora a fondo esta etapa como origen de muchas de las claves del funcionamiento de la actual democracia. Ambos países comparten historias parecidas, lo que hace muy pertinente su contraste: un desarrollo tardío dentro del contexto europeo, periodos de autoritarismo muy paralelos en el tiempo, dictaduras que finalizaron con pocos años de diferencia y cambios de régimen realmente decisivos en la historia contemporánea de ambos casos. Según la tesis principal de Fishman, las diferencias profundas entre las dos transiciones produjeron herencias culturales que han condicionado toda la vida política posterior. Las consecuencias son numerosas: las diferencias en el desempleo, los gustos culturales y la educación, la evolución de la desigualdad, el papel de las manifestaciones en la vida pública y la persistencia o no de los partidos políticos. El libro ofrece argumentos sólidos a favor de una cultura política de inclusión.
