Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and
Applications
The book series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA) covers all aspects of
theoretical and applied Artificial Intelligence research in the form of monographs, selected
doctoral dissertations, handbooks and proceedings volumes. The FAIA series contains several
sub-series, including ‘Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases’ and ‘Knowledge-Based
Intelligent Engineering Systems’. It also includes the biennial European Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (ECAI) proceedings volumes, and other EurAI (European Association for Artificial
Intelligence, formerly ECCAI) sponsored publications. The series has become a highly visible
platform for the publication and dissemination of original research in this field. Volumes are
selected for inclusion by an international editorial board of well-known scholars in the field of
AI. All contributions to the volumes in the series have been peer reviewed.
The FAIA series is indexed in ACM Digital Library; DBLP; EI Compendex; Google Scholar;
Scopus; Web of Science: Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Science (CPCI-S) and Book
Citation Index – Science (BKCI-S); Zentralblatt MATH.

Preface
The conference on Information Modeling and Knowledge Bases has become an im-
portant technology contributor for 21st century academic and industry research, address-
ing the complexities of modeling in digital transformation and digital innovation that
reach beyond the traditional borders of information systems and computer science aca-
demic research.
The international conference on Information Modeling and Knowledge Bases orig-
inated from the co-operation between Japan and Finland in 1982 which was then known
as the European Japanese conference (EJC). At that time, Professor Ohsuga from Japan
and Professors Hannu Kangassalo and Hannu Jaakkola from Finland (Nordic countries)
carried out the pioneering work for this longstanding academic collaboration. Over the
years, the organization has been widened to include European countries as well as many
other countries worldwide. In 2014, because of this expanded geographical scope, the
‘European Japanese’ part of the title was replaced by ‘International’. The conference is
characterized by opening with an ‘appetizer session’ that allows participants to introduce
their topic in a short three-minute presentation, followed by presentation sessions with
enough time for discussion. A limited number of participants is typical for this confer-
ence.
The 29th International Conference on Information Modeling and Knowledge Bases
(EJC2019) held in Lappeenranta, Finland constituted a research forum to exchange sci-
entific results and experience attracting academics and practitioners who deal with infor-
mation and knowledge. The main topics of EJC2019 covered a wide range of themes
extending from knowledge discovery through Conceptual Modeling, Knowledge and In-
formation Modeling and Discovery, Linguistic Modeling, Cross-Cultural Communica-
tion and Social Computing, Environmental Modeling and Engineering, and Multimedia
Data Modeling and Systems to complex scientific problem solving. The conference
presentation sessions: Learning and Linguistics, Systems and Processes, Data and
Knowledge Representation, Models and Interfaces, Formalizations and Reasoning, Mod-
els and Modeling, Machine Learning, Models and Programing, Environment and Predic-
tions, Emotion Modeling and Social Networks reflected the main themes of the confer-
ence.
EJC2019 included five keynote presentations on Information Modeling and
Knowledge Bases and a panel discussion on ‘Artificial Intelligence and Environment
Modeling’ in the context of information and conceptual modeling. ‘Philosophical Foun-
dations of Conceptual Modeling’ was the keynote address given by Professor John My-
lopoulos of Toronto University, Canada and the University of Trento, Italy. ‘Quantifica-
tion of Uncertainties of Mathematical Modeling’ was the keynote address by Professor
Heikki Haario of Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, Finland. ‘CFD-based
Optimization in Industrial Applications’ was the keynote address by Professor Jari
Hämäläinen of Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology (LUT), Finland. ´Sustain-
able Solid Waste Management using Life Cycle Modeling for Environmental Impact As-
sessment’ was the keynote address by Professor Mika Horttanainen of Lappeenranta-
Lahti University of Technology, Finland, and ‘Object Embedding: Can we Catch the
vi
Meaning in a Vector?’ was the keynote address by Professor Aleksei Shpilman of the
Higher School of Economics, St Petersburg, Russia.
The contributions of this proceedings of the 29th International Conference of Infor-
mation Modeling and Knowledge Bases feature thirty-two reviewed, selected, and up-
dated contributions that are the result of presentations, comments, and discussions during
the conference. This volume also includes two extended publications of the keynote ad-
dresses: ‘Philosophical Foundations of Conceptual Modeling’ and ´Sustainable Solid
Waste Management using Life Cycle Modeling for Environmental Impact Assessment’
with additional material covering the discussion and findings of the panel session. The
content of these proceedings also includes the long and short papers presented in the
conference revised after the conference before being published in the series ‘Frontiers in
Artificial Intelligence’ by IOS Press (Amsterdam). The proceedings volume ‘Information
Modeling and Knowledge Bases’ is edited by the editorial committee of the conference.
