Applications and Innovations in Intelligent Systems XV : Proceedings of AI-2007, the Twenty-seventh SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence

The papers in this volume are the refereed application papers presented at AI-2007, the Twenty-seventh SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2007. They present new and innovative applications of artificial intelligence across a wide range of domains, divided into sections on Medical Systems; HCI and Natural Language Systems: Imaging and Sensing Systems; Decision Support Systems; Autonomous Machines; and Industrial Systems, followed by the text of short papers presented as posters at the conference. This is the fifteenth volume in the Applications and Innovations series, which offers an annual snapshot of the latest applications of artificial intelligence across industry, commerce, education and government. The Technical Stream papers are published as a companion volume under the title Research and Development in Intelligent Systems XXIV.
