The 2009 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computational Int- ligence
(AICI 2009) was held during November 7-8 2009 in Shanghai China. The technical program of the
conference reflects the tremendous growth in the fields of artificial intelligence and
computational intelligence with contributions from a large number of participants around the
world. AICI 2009 received 1 203 submissions from 20 countries and regions. After rig- ous
reviews 79 high-quality papers were selected for this volume representing an acceptance rate
of 6.6%. These selected papers cover many new developments and their applications in the fields
of artificial intelligence and computational intelligence. Their publications reflect a
sustainable interest from the wide academic community worldwide in tirelessly pursuing new
solutions through effective utilizations of arti- cial intelligence and computational
intelligence to real-world problems. We would like to specially thank all the committee members
and reviewers without whose timely help it would have been impossible to review all the
submitted papers to assemble this program. We also would like take this opportunity to express
our heartfelt appreciation for all those who worked together in organizing this conference
establi- ing the technical programs and running the conference meetings. We greatly appreciate
the authors speakers invited session organizers session Chairs and others who made this
conference possible. Lastly we would like to express our gratitude to the Shanghai University
of Electric Power for the sponsorship and support of the conference.
