AI*IA'07

Current Information Technologies are faced with problems of increasing complexity. Artificial Intelligence paradigms and ideas are central in most of the critical research areas of computer science, where the software interoperability in the Semantic Web or the automatic control required by multiagent systems or autonomous robots are only some examples. The influence of AI is notable in all applications centred on humans as users, producers and consumers of complex, conceptual, distributed and critical information. This is true for applications ranging from intelligent search on the Web to complex decision making, from automatic control in autonomous systems to computing in Ambient Intelligence or collaborative environments. The convergence of traditional ideas from AI with human-centered applications will thus motivate most of the technical sessions of the conference, with a particular emphasis on specific topics covered by some Special Tracks.   

We invite the submission of papers to the AI*IA07 Congress. AI*IA07 is the 10th in a series of international Congresses on Advances in Artificial Intelligence held bi-annually in Italy by the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA). This year the focus is on human-oriented computing as a unifying paradigm for most of the traditional research and application areas of AI. The technical program for the conference will include invited lectures, workshops and presentations of refereed papers and posters in the main areas of AI. Three special tracks are dedicated to relevant trends in the AI research.

Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of artificial intelligence, including, but not limited to:

• Search • Constraint Satisfaction • Reasoning • Inference • Machine learning • Learning in adaptive systems • Knowledge Representation • Knowledge Engineering • Knowledge Acquisition • Information Agents • Multiagent Systems • Distributed AI • Ontologies • Semantic Web • Natural Language Processing • Web and Data Mining • Information Retrieval and Extraction • Human Computer Interaction • Soft and Evolutionary Computing • Computing Uncertainty • Planning and Scheduling • Temporal Reasoning • Cognitive Robotics • Vision • Cognitive modeling • AI architectures • Mathematical Foundations • Philosophical Foundations • AI Applications • AI in Art and Music
