The International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2012 (DCAI
2012) is a stimulating and productive forum where the scientific community can work towards
future cooperation in Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence areas. This conference
is a forum in which applications of innovative techniques for solving complex problems will be
presented. Artificial intelligence is changing our society. Its application in distributed
environments such as the internet electronic commerce environment monitoring mobile
communications wireless devices distributed computing to mention only a few is continuously
increasing becoming an element of high added value with social and economic potential in
industry quality of life and research. These technologies are changing constantly as a result
of the large research and technical effort being undertaken in both universities and
businesses. The exchange of ideas between scientists and technicians from both the academic and
industry sector is essential to facilitate the development of systems that can meet the ever
increasing demands of today's society. This edition of DCAI brings together past experience
current work and promising future trends associated with distributed computing artificial
intelligence and their application in order to provide efficient solutions to real problems.
This symposium is organized by the Bioinformatics Intelligent System and Educational
Technology Research Group (http: bisite.usal.es ) of the University of Salamanca. The present
edition will be held in Salamanca Spain from 28th to 30th March 2012.
