>Over the last four decades the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly developed and diversified in both its conceptual advancement and applications. These advances have initiated several research areas in neuroscience, cognitive science, physics, philosophy and engineering. This multi-disciplinary problem has developed versatile tools for intelligent decision making over the years of advancement, while raising more philosophical questions than available answers. The nature of investigation varies significantly depending on the discipline and scope. Therefore, the investigations have varied anything from the neuro-correlates of consciousness to individual application of AI. This conference on artificial intelligence in science and technology is an international multi-disciplinary conference that will bring several areas of expertise to tackle common problems.

>Venue:
>The Conference will be held at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia, between 22–25 November 2009.  The University of Tasmania is one of Australia’s oldest universities.  Founded in Hobart in 1890 it was the fourth university to be established in Australia.  In the ensuing one hundred years it has gained a reputation for solid academic achievement.  The university is within walking distance of the city of Hobart, Tasmania’s capital city.  Hobart has modern facilities, extensive shopping, restaurants, and cultural and entertainment opportunities.  It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia.  Hobart has a moderate climate, coupled with the second lowest rainfall for an Australian capital city.
