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 2011 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 2011, 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 2011 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.
