                          FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

The annual IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial
Intelligence (ICTAI)
provides a major international forum where the creation and exchange of
ideas related 
to artificial intelligence are fostered among academia, industry, and
government agencies.
The conference facilitates the cross-fertilization of these ideas and
promotes their 
transfer into practical tools, for developing intelligent systems and
pursuing artificial 
intelligence applications. The ICTAI encompasses all the technical aspects
of specifying,
developing and evaluating the theoretical underpinnings and applied
mechanisms of the AI 
based components of computer tools (i.e. algorithms, methodologies,
architectures or 
languages).  

TOPICS OF INTEREST include (but are not limited to) the following: 

  AI Algorithms and Computing
  AI in Bioinformatics
  AI in Computer Security and Information Assurance
  AI in Databases and Data Mining
  AI in E-commerce
  AI in Games
  AI in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
  AI in Medicine
  AI in Multimedia Systems
  AI in Real-time and Embedded Applications
  AI in Robotics
