The journal of Artificial Intelligence (AIJ), which commenced publication in 1970, is now the generally accepted premier international forum for the publication of results of current research in this field. The journal welcomes papers on broad aspects of AI that constitute advances in the overall field including, but not limited to:automated reasoning and inference,cognition and AI,cognition and AI,case-based reasoning,commonsense reasoning,computer vision,constraint processing,ethical AI,explainable AI,heuristic search,human interfaces,intelligent robotics,knowledge representation,machine learning,multi-agent systems,natural language processing,planning and action,reasoning under uncertainty.The journal reports results achieved in addition to proposals for new ways of looking at AI problems, both of which must include demonstrations of value and effectiveness. Papers describing applications of AI are also welcome, but the focus should be on how new and novel AI methods advance performance in application areas, rather than a presentation of yet another application of conventional AI methods. Papers on applications should describe a principled solution, emphasize its novelty, and present an in-depth evaluation of the AI techniques being exploited.
