IntelliFest is a single-track conference where software and IT developers, project managers and executives responsible for dr ... iving new business development and initiatives can meet to learn about, discuss, and explore the state-of-the-art in reasoning technologies and applied AI to create intelligent products and services. Four days of presentations during IntelliFest 2013 will include case studies, code-walks, application demos, and engineering considerations surrounding this growing need. Reasoning technologies include but are not limited to rule engines, constraint solvers, and machine learning algorithms. They are the building blocks of applied AI systems that exhibit logical reasoning, such as expert systems, case-based reasoning systems, theorem provers, and constraint satisfaction system. These systems, increasingly found at the core of cloud-based and “big data” applications, are widely used in business and research for automated decision-making, business rule processing, complex event processing, run-time governance, policy enforcement, rating systems, optimization, scheduling, predictive analytics, intrusion detection, security and integrity, fraud detection, and many other purposes. Much more than just a conference, IntelliFest is a Community of Practice centered on applied AI. IntelliFest is also a portal for transferring technical knowledge about implementing AI from developer to developer, from academic researcher to industrial practitioner, and vice versa. read more
