The International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) provides an interdisciplinary forum in which AI scientists and professionals can share their research results and report new advances on AI tools or tools that use AI. Tools refer to architectures, languages or algorithms, which constitute the means connecting theory with applications. So, IJAIT is a medium for promoting general and/or special purpose tools, which are very important for the evolution of science and manipulation of knowledge. IJAIT can also be used as a test ground for new AI tools.

Topics covered by IJAIT include but are not limited to: AI in Bioinformatics, AI for Service Engineering, AI for Software Engineering, AI for Ubiquitous Computing, AI for Web Intelligence Applications, AI Parallel Processing Tools (hardware/software), AI Programming Languages, AI Tools for CAD and VLSI Analysis/Design/Testing, AI Tools for Computer Vision and Speech Understanding, AI Tools for Multimedia, Cognitive Informatics, Data Mining and Machine Learning Tools, Heuristic and AI Planning Strategies and Tools, Image Understanding, Integrated/Hybrid AI Approaches, Intelligent System Architectures, Knowledge-Based/Expert Systems, Knowledge Management and Processing Tools, Knowledge Representation Languages, Natural Language Understanding, Neural Networks for AI, Object-Oriented Programming for AI, Reasoning and Evolution of Knowledge Bases, Self-Healing and Autonomous Systems, and Software Engineering for AI.

IJAIT publishes high-quality, original research papers as well as state-of-the-art surveys related to AI tools on a bi-monthly basis in two types, full and short papers. It also publishes book reviews and brief updates on AI tools.

Special issues related to the topics of the journal are welcome. A short proposal should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief. It should include: a tentative title; name(s) and address(es) of the Guest Editor(s); purpose and scope; possible contributors; and a timetable (deadlines for "call for papers" and review processes, intended publication date, etc.) The whole process should take about a year. If the proposal is accepted, the Guest Editor(s) will be responsible for the special issue and should follow the normal IJAIT review process, which requires five reviewers for each received paper. Copies of the reviewed papers and the reviewers' comments should be given to the Editor-in-Chief for recording purposes.
