Dear AAAI Members,

On behalf of the AAAI-10 Conference Committee, I am pleased to announce that the Final Call for Papers for AAAI-10, to be held July 11-15 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, is now available at the AAAI-10 conference website (http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/aaai10.php). The 2010 program has been expanded to include two new tracks, as well as the continuation of all tracks from 2008. New tracks include:

The Special Track on Artificial Intelligence and Bioinformatics (AIB), which focuses on novel AI concepts, techniques, and systems to address current problems in bioinformatics and computational and systems biology.

The Special Track on Challenges in AI, which seeks papers that issue technical challenges relating to artificial intelligence. These can be either a description of a specific technical problem, or of a broader class of problems worthy of attention.

Continuing tracks include:

The Main Technical Paper Track
The Special Track on Artificial Intelligence and the Web (AIW)
The Special Track on Integrated Intelligence (II)
The Special Track Physically Grounded Artificial Intelligence (PGAI)
