The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in arti?cial intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for international scienti?c exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. The 2006 edition perpetuates this tradition. For AIMSA 2006, we wanted to place special emphasis on a speci?c phen- enon that a?ects all areas of arti?cial intelligence: the application and leverage of arti?cial intelligence technology in the context of human collaboration which today is mediated by the Web. Arti?cial intelligence is used to support human communicationinawidevarietyofways.Forexample,reasoningovertheSem- tic Web, analyzing relationships between people, enhancing the user experience by learning from their behavior, applying natural language to large multilingual corpora, planning a combination of Web services, and adapting and person- izing educational material. A plethora of arti?cial intelligence techniques are amenable to facilitating communication on the Web. Moreover,these techniques are not deployed in isolation but are typically combined with results from other disciplines suchasthe socialsciences,discretemathematics,networkcomputing, or cryptography. However, as its name indicates the conference is also dedicated to arti?cial intelligence in its entirety. As such, AIMSA remains a generalist arti?cial intel- genceconferencewithtracksonconstraintsatisfaction,agents,ontology,decision support, natural language processing and machine learning. The Web e?ect has not created its own new sub-discipline of arti?cial intelligence but rather a?ects all of its sub-areas. ER -
