Aim & Scope

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 technical aspects of specifying, developing and 
evaluating the theoretical underpinnings and applied mechanisms of the 
AI-based components of computer tools such as algorithms, architectures 
and languages.

Topic of interest include (but are not limited to):
- AI Foundations
Evolutionary computing, Bayesian and Neural Networks
Decision/Utility Theory and Decision Optimization
Search, SAT, and CSP
Description Logic and Ontologies
- AI in Domain Specific Applications
AI in Natural Language Processing and Understanding
AI in Computational Biology, Medicine and Biomedical Applications

Paper Presentation
Each accepted paper should be presented by one of the authors and 
accompanied by at least one full registration fee payment, to guarantee 
publication in the proceedings. All accepted papers will be included in 
proceedings of ICTAI 2015 that will be published by the IEEE Computer 
Society.

IJAIT special issue and Best Student Papers Awards
Extended versions of the best papers of the conference will be invited 
for publication in a special issue of the International Journal on 
Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (SCI Indexed).
Authors of selected, relevant best papers on the topic Multimodal 
Communicative Signals: Behavioural and Algorithmic Issues will be 
invited to submit extended versions to Interaction Studies Journal.
We also provide financial awards to the top-5 best student papers.
