In recent years, given the inadequacy of individual information technologies, regarding a number of aspects of information systems, there has been an overwhelming amount of research work on systems, methods or techniques that integrate more than one information technology. Some these efforts consider the combination of what are called soft computing methodologies/technologies (e.g. Fuzzy Logic, Neurocomputing, Genetic Algorithms) either among themselves or with "traditional" Artificial Intelligence (AI) (or hard computing) technologies (e.g. Logic-Based Systems, Rule-Based Expert Systems). Another stream of efforts concerns integrations of Case-Based Reasoning, one of the more recent AI technologies/methodologies, with hard or soft computing technologies/methodologies. Integration of Data Mining and Knowledge Management is a very recent trend too. Also, Intelligent Agents often integrate hard or soft computing reasoning techniques. Additionally, there are efforts to integrate AI and non-AI technologies, such as those integrating Data Mining with Databases. Finally, Intelligent Decision Support Systems are integrated systems that include non-AI (e.g. simulators, databases) and AI components.
The Special Track (ST) seeks for quality papers on systems, methods or techniques that integrate an AI technology/methodology with another AI or non-AI technology/methodology. Topics of interest include (but not limited to) the following:
Authors must submit an electronic copy (preferably in pdf or postscript format) of their complete manuscript to the ST via the main conference Web site. Submissions must be original work and should not exceed 10 double-spaced double-column pages (10pt letter size). The papers should not identify the author(s) in any manner. For details see FLAIRS-03 Paper Submissions. All papers will be refereed by members of the program committee of the ST and other designated reviewers, according to the main conference procedure. Final decision on which papers will be accepted will be made by the program chairs of the main conference in consultation with the special tracks co-ordinator and the ST chair.
Paper submission due: November 8th, 2002
All accepted papers will be included in the FLAIRS-2002 proceedings, published by AAAI Press. AAAI proceedings format is required for the camera ready copy. Details will be available with the acceptance notification. One of the authors of each accepted paper is expected to present it at the track. Selected papers may receive best-paper awards. Authors may be invited to submit a revised copy of their paper to a special issue of the International Journal on AI Tools (IJAIT).
