AIAI 29th Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science (AICS 2021)
December 9-10th 2021
University College Dublin (UCD)
The 29th Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science (AICS2021) will be hosted by the School of Computer Science at University College Dublin (UCD) and will take place from 9th to 10th December 2021. The conference is currently being planned as an online event but will move to a hybrid event if public health advice allows it.
This year, we will also invite selected papers to be extended and submitted to a special issue in The Wiley Journal Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering.
With regular conferences dating back to 1988, the AICS Conference is Ireland's primary forum for researchers with interests in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. While once a niche area, the fields of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence - encompassing Data Analytics, Information Retrieval, and Machine Learning - are now at the forefront of Irish computing in research and industry.

We also seek papers which report on in-use experiences (design, engineering, deployment, utility, and challenges) of AI-based systems. Application-centric papers in related domains such as opinion mining, adaptive information systems, robotics, chatbots, game-playing, visual analytics, intelligent infrastructures, digital twins, and smart environments are welcome. We invite three types of submissions:
- Full Paper Track: Full paper submissions should consist of original contributions (describing either fundamental research, interesting applications, in-use experiences, or reviews of the field) not published in other forums. Papers should be of 6 to 12 pages in length in the Springer LNCS style. Accepted submissions will appear in online proceedings and authors will be invited for oral or poster presentation.
- Student Track: This track is designed to facilitate students who have recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme. Student track submissions should consist of original contributions (describing either basic research or interesting applications) and the first author must be a student. Papers should be of 6 to 12 pages in length in the Springer LNCS style. Accepted submissions will appear in the online proceedings and authors will be invited for a poster presentation.
- NECTAR Track: NECTAR track submissions should describe significant results previously published or disseminated no earlier than 2016 at a prestigious international conference or journal. Accepted submissions will be included in online proceedings as a single page abstract, and authors will be invited to present their work orally at AICS.
All accepted submissions will appear in online proceedings published at www.ceur-ws.org.
Journal Special Issue
Authors of a selection of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a dedicated special issue of The Wiley Journal Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering. Dates, deadlines, and details to be announced.
Publication and Instructions for Authors
All accepted submissions will be presented at the conference, either orally or as posters, and included in the online conference proceedings.
