Preface
This volume comprises the proceedings of the 20th Annual Irish Conference on
ArtificialIntelligenceandCognitiveScience(AICS2009).AICS2009washosted
bytheSchoolofComputerScienceandInformaticsinUniversityCollegeDublin
on August 19–21, 2009. The AICS Conference is Ireland’s primary meeting for
those involved in the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive science. The
conference has taken place annually since 1988 and provides a forum for the
exchange of ideas and the presentation of research conducted both in Ireland
and worldwide.
After a rigorous review process, 21 papers were selected for oral presenta-
tion, and a further seven for poster presentations. Six shorter submissions were
accepted for presentation at a technology demo session. The programcovereda
largerangeoftopics,withsubmissionscoveringclassificationtechniques,biolog-
icallyinspiredcomputation,naturallanguageprocessing,andapplicationsofAI
techniques for the social web and financial markets. Although traditionally the
majority of AICS submissions have come from the island of Ireland, AICS 2009
attracted a couple of submissions from farther afield—Mexico and Bulgaria.
AICS 2009 continued the tradition of inviting high-profile speakers from the
fields. We were delighted to have two high-profile speakers give keynote talks:
David R. Millen, from the IBM Watson Research Center, in Cambridge, USA,
gaveapaperentitled“UseofEnterpriseSocialSoftwaretoSupportOrganization
and People Sensemaking”; and John Riedl, Department of Computer Science,
University of Minnesota, gave a talk on “Collective Intelligence in the Social
Web.” We are most grateful to both speakers for taking time out of their busy
schedules to come to Ireland and attend AICS.
Finally, it would not be possible to hold the conference without the gen-
erous contributions from our sponsors. We are most grateful to the School of
Computer Science and Informatics,UCD (http://www.cs.ucd.ie); to CLARITY
(http://www.clarity-centre.org), a Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Sci-
ence,EngineeringandTechnology(CSET)involvingUCD,DCUandtheTyndall
NationalInstitute; andto CLIQUEwww.cliquecluster.org,aStrategicResearch
Cluster(SRC)fundedbyScience FoundationIrelandandinvolvingUCD,DERI
at NUIG, IBM, Idiro Technologies and Norkom Technologies.
We hope that you will find the papers in these proceedings interesting and
stimulating. Here is to the next 20 years of AICS!

cussed in which social software was tailored for business and deployed within a
large global enterprise (IBM). These projects include a social bookmarking ser-
vice(dogear),alightweightfilesharingapplication(cattail)andasocialnetwork
application(beehive).Twoimportantresearchtopicswillbediscussed.First,we
explore variousapplication capabilities that support andencouragesocialinter-
action and application adoption. Several incentive systems were tested in field
trials and showed sustained increase in user participation levels. Recommender
applets were also trialed to understand their ability to support the increased
end-user”production”ofcontent.Thesecondtopicwillbetheuseofsocialsoft-
ware to promote sensemakingfor people and the organization.In particular,we
explore the integration of various social software applications with searchtools,
and the introduction of non-traditional work content (e.g., personal photos) to
signal and support organizationalacculturation.
