--------------------------------------------------------------- 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. *Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:* Art and Music Brain Sciences Case-by-case Problem-Solving Cognitive architectures Coherence of Integrative/Hybrid Systems Computer-Aided Education Connecting Sensorimotor and Concept-level Cognition Context Context Evaluation and Comparison of GAI Projects Foundations and Theory Human-Computer Interaction Intelligent Database Systems Intelligent user interfaces Language Processing based on GAI Lifelong and Multi-Strategy Learning Management of Complex Goal Structures Multimodal communication Philosophical and Ethical Issues Real-Time Systems Security and Privacy Semantic Web The Role of Embodiment in GAI Validation and Verification Virtual characters *Important Dates* 10.MAY.2011 .
