CALL FOR PAPERS 21st International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI 2009) Newark (New York Metropolitan Area), New Jersey, USA November 2-4, 2009 http://ictai2009.njit.edu

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 (i.e. algorithms, architectures and languages).

TOPICS (not limited to)
- AI Algorithms - AI in Bioinformatics - AI in Computer Security - AI in Databases and Data Mining - AI in E-commerce - AI in Games - AI in Information Assurance - AI in Logistics - AI in Medicine - AI in Multimedia Systems - AI in Real-time & Embedded Applications - AI in Robotics - AI in Software Engineering - Case-Based Reasoning - Cognitive Modelling - Constraint Programming - Collaborative Software Agents - Reasoning Under Fuzziness or Uncertainty - Evolutionary Computing - Hybrid Intelligent Systems - Information Retrieval - Intelligent Tutoring/Training Systems - Intelligent Internet Agents - Intelligent Interface Agents - Knowledge-based Systems - Knowledge Extraction - Knowledge Management and Sharing - Knowledge Representation and Reasoning - Machine Learning - Natural Language Processing and Understanding - Neural Networks - Ontologies - Planning and Scheduling - Qualitative Reasoning - Search and Heuristics - Semantic Web-Techniques & Technologies - Speech Processing and Understanding - Vision/Image Processing & Understanding

PAPER SUBMISSION
The submissions should contain original, high quality, not submitted or published elsewhere work. Papers should be submitted electronically (through the ICTAI 2009 web site) in pdf format and should conform to IEEE specifications (single-spaced, double-column, 10-point font size, up to 8 pages).

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 the proceedings (probably in DVD form) of ICTAI 2009 that will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

IJAIT SPECIAL ISSUE
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).
