CALL FOR PAPERS
The 12th International Conference on
Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, Applications
AIMSA 2006
- AI, people and the web -
Varna, Bulgaria, 13-15th September, 2006
www.aimsaconference.org
**** Extended deadline: April 29th (see details below) ****
**** Proceedings published by Springer/LNCS ****
SCOPE
The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the
presentation of AI research and development since 1984. The conference,
which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in Artificial
Intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for
international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the
rest of the world. AIMSA 2006 is supported by ECCAI, European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence.
As its name indicates the conference is dedicated to Artificial
intelligence in its entirety. However, for AIMSA 2006, we would like
to put the emphasis on a specific phenomenon that affects all areas
of AI: the application and leverage of artificial intelligence technology in the context of
human collaboration which today is mediated by the web.
Artificial intelligence is used for supporting human communication
in a wide variety of ways. For example, reasoning over the semantic web,
analysing relationships between people, enhancing the user experience
by learning from their behavior, applying natural language to large multilingual corpora,
planning a combination of web services, adapting and personalizing educational material, etc.
All Artificial intelligence techniques are amenable to facilitating communication on the web.
Moreover, these techniques are not deployed in isolation but are typically
combined with results from other disciplines such as the social sciences, discrete
mathematics, network computing, or cryptography. AIMSA 2006 aims to reflect
this plethora of avenues whereby Artificial intelligence supports human
collaboration based activities.
LOCATION
AIMSA 2006 will be held at the Sunny Day Tourist Complex, 10 km to the north-east of Varna and 16 km from Varna Airport.
LANGUAGE
The official language of the conference is English.
