Ki 2009

This conference aims to gather researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide to share their research results covering all aspects of artificial intelligence. It will be an international forum for discussions on recent progress in different fields of artificial intelligence including, but not limited to: Agents, AI and engineering, Cognitive modeling, Cognitive systems, Constraint satisfaction, Deduction, Evolutionary computation, Games and interactive entertainment, Graphics and AI, History and philosophical foundations of AI, Human-machine-interaction, Knowledge acquisition, Knowledge representation and reasoning, Machine learning and data-mining, Model-based systems, Natural language processing, Neural networks, Ontologies, Planning and scheduling, Reasoning under uncertainty, Robotics, Search, Semantic web, Spatial and temporal reasoning, Vision and perception Special area chairs representing the recent topics in AI will assure that each paper finds a competent reviewer and, when accepted, an adequate session. Orthogonal to the scientific program of the conference three layers will be addressed: AI and Automation AI in the current clusters of excellence, collaborative research centers and graduate schools, and AI at the universities of applied sciences. This year‘s major theme will be the impact of AI methods and theories on the engineering domain. Nowadays, AI can be found everywhere in this field, in the production process as well as in smart products, although very often the influence of AI research remains hidden. The special focus on AI and Automation will present state-of-the-art topics and will help to bridge the gap between academia and industrial applications. Besides the main conference program, it is a good tradition of the KI conferences to have a wide range of • •
