Subject: EPIA'95 - Conference CFP Date: Tue, 18 Oct 94 11:02:51 +0000 From: njm@cupido.inesc.pt Origine: Machine Learning Mailing List, Vol. 6, No. 27 EPIA'95 - CALL FOR PAPERS SEVENTH PORTUGUESE CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal October 3-6, 1995 (Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI) The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA'95) will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal, on October 3-6, 1995. As in previous issues ('89, '91, and '93), EPIA'95 will be run as an international conference, English being the official language. The scientific program encompasses tutorials, invited lectures, demonstrations, and paper presentations. Five well known researchers will present invited lectures. The conference is devoted to all areas of Artificial Intelligence and will cover both theoretical and foundational issues and applications as well. Parallel workshops on Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks, and Applications of A.I. to Robotics and Vision Systems will run simultaneously (see below). INVITED LECTURERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following researchers have already confirmed their participation, as guest speakers: Marvin Minsky, MIT (USA) Manuela Veloso, CMU (USA) Luis Borges de Almeida, IST (Portugal) Rodney Brooks, MIT (USA) SUBMISSION OF PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Authors must submit five (5) complete printed copies of their papers to the "EPIA'95 submission address". Fax or electronic submissions will not be accepted. Submissions must be printed on A4 or 8 1/2"x11" paper using 12 point type. Each page must have a maximum of 38 lines and an average of 75 characters per line (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12 point). Double-sided printing is strongly encouraged. The body of submitted papers must be at most 12 pages, including title, abstract, figures, tables, and diagrams, but excluding the title page and bibliography. ELECTRONIC ABSTRACT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In addition to submitting the paper copies, authors should send to epia95-abstracts@inesc.pt a short (200 words) electronic abstract of their paper to aid the reviewing process. The electronic abstract must be in plain ASCII text (no LaTeX)) in the following format: TITLE: FIRST AUTHOR: <last name, first name> EMAIL: <email of the first author> FIRST ADDRESS: <first author address> COAUTHORS: <their names, if any> KEYWORDS: <keywords separated by commas> ABSTRACT: <text of the abstract> Authors are requested to select 1-3 appropriate keywords from the list below. Authors are welcome to add additional keywords descriptors as needed. Applications, agent-oriented programming, automated reasoning, belief revision, case-based reasoning, common sense reasoning, constraint satisfaction, distributed AI, expert systems, genetic algorithms, knowledge representation, logic programming, machine learning, natural language understanding, nonmonotonic reasoning, planning, qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, robotics, spatial reasoning, theorem proving, theory of computation, tutoring systems. REVIEW OF PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submissions will be judged on significance, originality, quality and clarity. Reviewing will be blind to the identities of the authors. This requires that authors exercise some care not to identify themselves in their papers. Each copy of the paper must have a title page, separated from the body of the paper, including the title of the paper, the names and addresses of all authors, a list of content areas (see above) and any acknowledgments. The second page should include the same title, a short abstract of less than 200 words, and the exact same contents areas, but not the names nor affiliations of the authors. This page may include text of the paper. The references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors, but should not include unpublished works of the authors. When referring to one's own work, use the third person. For example, say "previously, Peter [17] has shown that ...". Try to avoid including any information in the body of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their institutions. Such information can be added to the final camera-ready version for publication. Please do not staple the title page to the body of the paper. Submitted papers must be unpublished. PUBLICATION ~~~~~~~~~~~ The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag (lecture notes in A.I. series). Authors will be required to transfer copyright of their paper to Springer-Verlag. ASSOCIATED WORKSHOPS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the framework of the conference three workshops will be organized: Applications of Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks in Engineering, and Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Robotics and Vision Systems. Real world applications, running systems, and demos are welcome.
