The 19th Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science and the Cork Constraint Computation Centre at University College Cork, Ireland, from the 27th-29th of August 2008. The conference will take place in the Imperial Hotel on the South Mall in the centre of Cork City.

The AICS Conference is Ireland’s primary meeting for those involved in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. The conference has taken place annually since 1988 and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of research conducted both in Ireland and worldwide. Please refer to the Call for Papers for details.

An innovation at this year’s conference is the introduction of a demonstration workshop that will precede the conference on the 27th of August. Please refer to the Call for Demos for details.
