========================================================================

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 finalize 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.

Important Dates
===============
Paper Submission Date: July 9, 2012 *EXTENDED - FIRM*
