European Conference on Artificial Intelligence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is the leading conference in the field of Artificial Intelligence in Europe, and is commonly listed together with IJCAI and AAAI as one of the three major general AI conferences worldwide.[1] The conference series has been held without interruption since 1974, originally under the name AISB.[2]

The conferences are held under the auspices of the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) and organized by one of the member societies. The journal AI Communications, sponsored by the same society, regularly publishes special issues in which conference attendees report on the conference.[3]

Publication of a paper in ECAI is considered by some journals to be archival, meaning that the paper should be considered equivalent to a journal publication and that the contents of ECAI papers cannot be reformulated as separate journal submissions unless a significant amount of new material is added.[4]

ECAI-2006 took place in Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy. ECAI-2008 is planned for Patras, Greece.
