From: BUNDY at RUTGERS EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (IJCAI-83) Karlsruhe, West Germany 8-12 August 1983 CALL FOR PAPERS The IJCAI conferences are the main forum for the presentation of Artificial Intelligence research to an international audience. The goal of IJCAI-83 is to promote scientific interchange, within and between all subfields of Artificial Intelligence, among researchers from all over the world. The conference is sponsored by International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, Inc., and co-sponsored by Gesellschaft fuer Informatik (West Ger- many), the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (Britain), and Nederlandse Vereniging voor Kunstmatige Intelligentie (The Netherlands). Papers concerning all aspects of Artificial Intelligence will be considered including (but not limited to) the subfields listed below. Complete drafts, in English, should be received by the programme chairman by 1st February, 1983. Final versions of accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. Papers are invited in one of the following categories: - Long Papers (max length 5500 words, the equivalent of 11-12 single spaced pages. 7 proceedings pages will be allocated and 30 minutes presentation) For the presentation of well- developed, original and significant new research as well as for works of synthesis. Note that it is our intention to encourage the submission of excellent papers in this category. Refereeing standards will be strict and only papers of high quality will be accepted. - Short Papers (max length 2250 words, the equivalent of 5 single spaced pages. 3 proceedings pages will be allocated and 15 minutes presentation) For brief presentation of research and for reports of work in progress. Note that, in order to encourage submission in this category, the max length is slightly longer than here-to-fore. Papers in both categories ppages will be refereed. Papers not in English, or which miss the 1st February deadline, or which exceed the maximum length for their category, will be returned unre- fereed. It is expected that at least one author of every accepted paper will attend. The refereeing and the sessions will be organised around the following subfields: Automatic Programming. Cognitive Modelling; Expert Systems; Knowledge Representation; Learning and Knowledge Acquisition; Logic Programming; Natural Language; Planning and Search; Robotics; System Support; Theorem Proving; Vision. In order to ensure that papers are appropriately refereed and that they appear in appropriate sessions, authors are requested to express a preference for one or more of these subfields. If this is not possible then please specify a new subfield. In addition to the contributed papers, the programme will include several invited papers, panel discussions, and special interest sessions.
