AI 2006 >>Call for Papers

AI 2006 is the 19th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. This conference series is Australia's premier venue for the dissemination of new research in both the theory and application of artificial intelligence. AI 2006 will be hosted by the University of Tasmania's School of Computing, and will be held in the beautiful city of Hobart, Tasmania from the 4th to the 8th of December. We invite authors to submit papers on any aspect of artificial intelligence research and practice. All papers will be peer reviewed, and those accepted for the conference will be included in a proceedings volume published by Springer-Verlag.
