4th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-09) December 16-18, 2009
Tumkur (near Bangalore), India

Welcome to the official website of the 4th Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-09). IICAI-09 will be held during December 16-18 2009 in Tumkur (near Bangalore), India. IICAI is a series of high quality technical events in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is also one of the major AI events in the world.

The primary goal of the conference is to promote research and developmental activities in AI and related fields in India and the rest of the world. Another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between AI researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working in India and abroad. The conference will be held every two years to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in AI and related areas.

Most recently, the 3rd Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IICAI-07) was held in Pune during December 17-19 2007. IICAI-07 received around 800 paper submissions from around 40 different countries. Around 150 papers are accepted. Click here for some pictures from that event.

English is the official language of the conference.
