As a continuation of a fruitful experimental collaboration between BCS Specialist Group in Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering, this special issue is dedicated to extended and upgraded original contributions of the three best paper submissions presented at the flagship conference AI‐2012, the thirty‐second SGAI International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which was held in Cambridge, England, from December 11th to 13th, 2012. The AI‐2012 conference is the 32nd annual event of BCS SGAI in the leading series of UK‐based international conferences on Artificial Intelligence and one of the longest running AI conference series in Europe. SGAI, the Specialist Group on Artificial Intelligence (www.bcs‐sgai. org) of the British Computer Society, is one of the longest serving specialist groups of the British Computer Society, and a member of ECCAI, the European Co‐ordinating Committee on Artificial Intelligence. BCS SGAI AI‐2012 is part of the series of conferences that has run annually without a break since 1981 on developments in AI and sharing experiences in the practical issues of developing AI systems. All conference papers are peer‐reviewed by an international panel of world‐renowned expert referees, and a specialist committee prioritises their votes for the best paper awards of each stream. The best original conference papers were selected by the AI‐2012 programme committees as the most relevant voted papers for each of the three streams: the technical stream, the application stream, and the young researcher (student) contribution. The expanded versions of the papers containing substantial additional work are the result of the invitation to be submitted to and peer‐reviewed independently for the inclusion in this journal special issue by the special issue editorial board of the journal. The accepted extended versions of the best three BCS‐SGAI AI‐2012 papers are summarised below.
