Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations II: IFIP TC12 and WG12.5 - Second IFIP Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI-2005), Sept. 7-9, 2005, Beijing, China

A very promising sign of the growing importance of Artificial Intelligence techniques in practical applications is the large number of submissions received for the conference - more than 150. All papers were reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee and the test 93 were selected for the conference and are included in this volume. The international nature of IFIP is amply reflected in the large number of countries represented here.
