The importance of Artificial Intelligence is underlined by the fact that it is nowadays being embraced by a vast majority of research fields across different disciplines, from Engineering Sciences to Economics and Medicine, as a means to tackle highly complicated and challenging computational as well as cognitive problems. Being one of the main streams of information processing, Artificial Intelligence may now offer solutions to such problems using advances and innovations from a wide range of sub-areas that induce thinking and reasoning in models and systems.

The general focus of the conference is to present different perspectives on how Artificial Intelligence may be applied and offer solutions to real world problems, serving the study, analysis and modelling of theoretical and practical issues. The primary target of AIAI 2013 is to present highly novel research papers describing innovative algorithms, systems, tools and techniques, as well as proposing advanced prototypes in the area of Artificial Intelligence. General survey papers indicating future directions and professional work-in-progress reports are of equal interest. Acceptance will be based on quality, originality and practical merit of the work.

Authors are invited to submit original, English-language research contributions or experience reports. Submitted papers must present unpublished work, not being considered for publication in other journals or conferences.

Paper Submission
-----------------

Submissions should contain original, high quality, not submitted or published elsewhere work. Papers should be submitted electronically (through AIAI 2013 web site) in pdf format and should conform to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science style. Authors instructions and style files can be downloaded from the conference website or from: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

The maximum length of papers is 10 pages in this format. A fully electronic review process by at least two academic reviewers is planned for all submissions.


-------------------
Workshop Proposals
-------------------

Proposals for Workshops that examine emerging, innovative, or otherwise provocative issues within the conference area are encouraged as well. Workshop proposals should include a 1-2 page summary of the topic and the names and affiliations of chairs and program committee members. Workshop papers will be included in the conference proceedings (published by Springer).


-------------------
Tutorial Proposals
-------------------

Proposals for 90-minute tutorials are also invited on topics within the conference area. Tutorial proposals must be at most 5 pages, they must identify the intended audience, and they must give enough material to provide a sense of what will be covered.
