AI-2004 is the Twenty-fourth SGAI International Conference on
Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence.
The conference begins with a preliminary day of tutorials on
'Intelligent Forecasting' (Professor Andrew Ware & Dr Hasan Al-
Madfai, University of Glamorgan), 'Untangling the Semantic Web'
(Dr Alun Preece, University of Aberdeen), 'Recent Developments in
Reinforcement Learning' (Dr Eduardo Alonso, City University) and
'An Introduction to the Constraint Paradigm' (Dr Marc van Dongen &

CBR Workshop (organised by Dr. Brian Lees).
This is followed by two days of refereed papers in two streams. The
Technical Stream aims to present the best of recent developments
in AI, covering a wide range of technical areas. There are sessions
on AI Techniques I and II, CBR and Recommender Systems,
Intelligent Agents and Scheduling Systems, Knowledge Discovery
in Data and Spatial Reasoning, Image Recognition and
Hypercubes. The Application Stream is the largest annual
showcase in Europe of real applications using AI technology. This
year's papers are divided into sessions on Synthesis and
Prediction, Scheduling and Search, Diagnosis and Monitoring,
Classification and Design and Analysis and Evaluation.
There are also invited keynote lectures by Prof. Noel Sharkey
