The annual AAAI National Conference and Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference provide a forum for information exchange and interaction among researchers from all disciplines of AI. Contributions include theoretical, experimental, and empirical results.

The technical papers published in this proceedings were selected by a rigourous, double-blind review process. The National Conference papers cover a myriad of topics, including agents, artificial intelligence and the world wide web, cognitive systems, constraint satisfaction problems, knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, learning, model-based reasoning, natural language and information retrieval, planning, robotics, satisfiability, scheduling, search, tractable reasoning, and vision.

The Innovative Applications Conference papers feature deployed and emerging applications. These papers will be of special benefit to AI applications developers. In addition, abstracts from the Invited Talks, Intelligent Systems Demonstrations, Robotic Competition and Exhibition, SIGART/AAAI Doctoral Consortium, and Student programs are also included in this proceedings.
