---------------
Call for Papers
---------------

The IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence
(ICTAI) is a premier international research forum which stimulates and
fosters the exchange of ideas for artificial intelligence-related
applications in academia, industry, and government agencies. ICTAI seeks
to advance all technical, theoretical, and practical aspects of
Artificial Intelligence-based components of tools, including algorithms,
applications, software, systems, and services. This year's conference
solicits original research findings, innovative designs, practical
development experiences, and real-world case study materials.

---------------------------------
Paper Submission and Presentation
---------------------------------

Each submission should contain original, high quality work which has not
been previously submitted or published elsewhere. Papers should be
submitted electronically, through the ICTAI 2012 submission system, in
PDF format. All submissions should conform to the IEEE proceedings
specifications (single-spaced, double-column, 10-point font size, up to
8 pages). For detailed instructions, please refer to the IEEE website.

Each accepted paper should be presented at the conference 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 of ICTAI 2012, which will be published by
the IEEE.

-------------------------
Special Issue Publication
-------------------------

Extended versions of the best papers at the conference will be invited
for publication in a special issue of the International Journal on
Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) (SCI Indexed). The organizing
committee is also working to fianlize a special issue with a second
journal.

ICTAI 2012 will organize workshops that focus on new research directions
and initiatives relevant to artificial intelligence and related areas.
All accepted workshop papers will be included in a separate Workshop
Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected
workshop papers will also be invited for publications in a journal
special issue.
