-- FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE CONSULT THE ECAI-96 WEB PAGES: http://wwwis.cs.utwente.nl:8080/mars/ECAI96.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The 12th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-96) will be held in Budapest, Hungary from August 12 - 16, 1996. The biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is the European forum for international scientific exchange and presentation of AI research. The aim of the conference is to cover all aspects of AI and to bring together basic and applied research. The Conference Technical Programme will include paper presentations, invited talks, panels, workshops, and tutorials.
ECAI-96 is organized by the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) and will be hosted by the John von Neumann Computer Society (NJSZT, Hungary). The conference venue will be the Budapest University of Economics.
Submissions are invited on substantial, original and previously unpublished research in all aspects of AI, including, but not limited to:
Automated Reasoning; Application and Enabling Technologies; Cognitive Modelling and Philosophical Foundations; Connectionist and PDP Models of AI; Distributed AI and Multiagent Systems; Knowledge Representation; Machine Learning; Natural Language and Intelligent User Interfaces; Planning, Scheduling, and Reasoning about Actions; Reasoning about Physical Systems and under Uncertainty; Robotics, Vision, and Signal Understanding; Standardisation, Verification, Validation and Testing of Knowledge-based Systems.
Submissions must be received by the Programme Chair, Prof. W. Wahlster (address see below), in hardcopy form by 10th January 1996. Successful authors will be notified on or before 18th March 1996. Camera-ready copies of the final versions of accepted papers must be received by 30th April 1996.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Submission Format ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------All six (6) copies of a submitted paper must be clearly legible. Neither electronic nor fax submissions are acceptable. Double-sided printing is strongly encouraged. Submissions must be at most five (5) double-column pages, formatted according to the "Guidelines for Preparing a Paper for the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence" , excluding the title page with the address information and the keywords (see below). Overlength submissions will be rejected without review. The submission format is identical with the format for the final camera-ready copy of accepted papers. Each submission should include the name and complete addresses (including postal address, email, phone and fax, when possible) of all authors on the title page. Correspondence will be send to the first author, unless otherwise indicated.
The "Guidelines for Preparing a Paper for the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence" are avaialable via FTP as a Postscript file and Latex style files. Please use ftp dfki.uni-sb.de or ftp 134.96.188.7 Use "anonymous" as login and your e-mail address as password and download the files from directory /pub/ECAI-96.Please read the index file for file descriptions.

-- Content Areas ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Each copy of a submitted paper must include a title page with a set of keywords (at most 3) giving the area/subarea and describing the topic of the paper from the following list of terms (Please use the exact terms below; do not make up new keywords):
AI and Creativity Abduction Applications Architectures Artificial Life Automated Reasoning Automatic Programming Belief Revision Case Studies of AI Case-Based Reasoning Cognitive Modelling Common Sense Reasoning Communication and Cooperation Complexity of Reasoning Computational Theories in Psychology Computer-Aided Education Concept Formation Connectionist and PDP Models for AI Constraint-Based Reasoning Corpus-Based Language Analysis Deduction Description Logics Design and Configuration Diagnosis Discourse Analysis and Dialog Models Discovery Distributed Problem Solving Document Analysis Enabling Technology and Systems Epistemological Foundations Expert System Design Generic Applications Genetic Algorithms Graphics Generation Induction Information Retrieval and Presentation Integrating Several AI Components Knowledge Acquisition Knowledge Representation Language Production Large Scale Knowledge Engineering Logic and Constraint Programming Machine Learning Machine Translation Mathematical Foundations Model-based Reasoning Monitoring Multi-Agent Systems Multimodal Systems Natural Language Processing Navigation Neural Networks Nonmonotonic Reasoning Parsing Philosophical Foundations and Implications Plan Recognition Planning and Scheduling Pragmatics Principles of AI Applications Qualitative Reasoning Reactivity Reasoning About Action Reasoning About Physical Systems Reasoning With Uncertainty Resource Allocation and Anytime Algorithms Robotics Search Semantic Construction and Interpretation Sensor Interpretation Sensory Fusion/Fission Simulation Situated Cognition Social Economic, Ethical and Legal Implications Softbots Spatial Reasoning Speech Understanding Standardisation and Reuse of Ontologies or Knowledge System Architectures Telecooperation and Negotiation Temporal and Causal Reasoning Terminological Reasoning Text Understanding and Message Extraction Theorem Proving Truth Maintenance Tutoring Systems User Interfaces User Modeling Verification, Validation & Testing of Knowledge-Based Systems Virtual and Augmented Reality Vision and Signal Understanding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Multiple Submission Policy for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Papers that are being submitted to other AI conferences, whether verbatim or in essence, must reflect this fact on the title page. If a paper is accepted at more than one conference (with the exception of specialized workshops), it must be withdrawn from all but one conference. Papers that do not meet these requirements are subject to rejection without review. The other major international AI conferences in August of 1996 are the American Association for Artificial Intelligence Conference (AAAI-96) to be held August 4-8 in Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI'96) to be held August 26-30 in Cairns, Australia.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Publication ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Accepted papers will be allocated five (5) double-column pages in the conference proceedings. Camera-ready papers exceeding the page limit and those violating the instructions to authors will not be included in the proceedings.
