GAI@EPIA 2011
*General Artificial Intelligence*
EPIA 2011 will include a thematic track on General Artificial 
Intelligence, which is focused on general methodologies and 
architectures for intelligent systems but will also accept submissions 
on ALL subareas of artificial intelligence not covered by the other 
thematic tracks.
Of particular relevance to this track are papers on issues that arise in 
the design and construction of complex artificial intelligent agents, 
integrating such component technologies as planning and scheduling; 
knowledge representation and reasoning; language, dialogue, perception; 
goal-driven action; machine learning; constraints, satisfiability and 
search; and Web and Knowledge-based Information Systems. This includes, 
but is not limited to human-level intelligent agents. All available 
paths are welcome, including theoretical and experimental computer 
science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative 
interdisciplinary methodologies.

Art and Music
Brain Sciences
Case-by-case Problem-Solving
