GAI

General Artificial Intelligence

As in previous editions of the conference, EPIA 2009 will include a thematic track on General Artificial Intelligence which is focused on general methodologies and architectures for intelligent systems but will also accept submissions on subareas of artificial intelligence not covered by the other thematic tracks.

Of particular relevance to this track are papers on issues that arise in the design and construction of complex artificial intelligent agents, integrating such component technologies as planning, reasoning, language, dialogue, perception, goal-driven action, and learning. This includes, but is not limited to human-level intelligent agents. All available paths are welcome, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies.
