KI 2006 : advances in artificial intelligence : 29th Annual German Conference on AI, KI 2006, Bremen, Germany, June 14-17, 2006 : proceedings

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 29th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI 2006, held in Bremen, Germany, in June 2006. This was co-located with RoboCup 2006, the innovative robot soccer world championship, and with ACTUATOR 2006, the 10th International Conference on New Actuators. The 29 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cognition and emotion, semantic Web, analogy, natural language, reasoning, ontologies, spatio-temporal reasoning, machine learning, spatial reasoning, robot learning, classical AI problems, and agents. The book is completed with the extended abstracts of eight lectures - especially invited for the public symposium `50 Years AI' held after the regular conference sessions.
