From: name AAAI-OFFICE <AAAI@SRI-AI.ARPA> IJCAI-85 CALL FOR PAPERS The IJCAI conferences are the main forum for the presentation of Artificial Intelligence research to an international audience. The goal of the IJCAI-85 is to promote scientific interchange, within and between all subfields of AI, among researchers from all over the world. The conference is sponsored by the International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), Inc., and co-sponsored by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). IJCAI-85 will be held at the University of California, Los Angeles from August 18 through August 24, 1985. * Tutorials: August 18-19; Technical Sessions: August 20-24 TOPICS OF INTEREST Authors are invited to submit papers of substantial, original, and previously unreported research in any aspect of AI, including: * AI architectures and languages * AI and education (including intelligent CAI) * Automated reasoning (including theorem proving, automatic programming,plan- ning, search, problem solving, commensense, and qualitative reasoning) * Cognitive modelling * Expert systems * Knowledge representation * Learning and knowledge acquisition * Logic programming * Natural language (including speech) * Perception (including visual, auditory, tactile) * Philosophical foundations * Robotics * Social, economic and legal implications REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION Authors should submit 4 complete copies of their paper. (Hard copy only, no electronic submissions.) * LONG PAPERS: 5500 words maximum, up to 7 proceedings pages * SHORT PAPERS: 2200 words maximum, up to 3 proceedings pages Each paper will be stringently reviewed by experts in the topic area specified. Acceptance will be based on originality and significance of the reported research, as well as the quality of its presentation. Applications clearly demonstrating the power of established techniques, as well as thoughtful critiques of previously published material will be considered, provided that they point the way to new research and are substantive scientific contributions in their own right. Short papers are a forum for the presentation of succinct, crisp results. They are not a safety net for long paper rejections. In order to ensure appropriate refereeing, authors are requested to specify in which of the above topic areas the paper belongs, as well as a set of no more than 5 keywords for further classification within that topic area. Because of time constraints, papers requiring major revisions cannot be accepted. DETAILS FOR SUBMISSION The following information must be included with each paper: * Author's name, address, telephone number and net address (if applicable); * Topic area (plus a set of no more than 5 keywords for further classification within the topic area.); * An abstract of 100-200 words; * Paper length (in words). The time table is as follows: * Submission deadline: 7 January 1985 (papers received after January 7th will be returned unopened) * Notification of Acceptance: 16 March 1985 * Camera Ready copy due: 16 April 1985 Contact Points Submissions should be sent to the Program Chair: Aravind Joshi Dept of Computer and Information Science University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA General inquiries should be directed to the General Chair: Alan Mackworth Dept of Computer Science University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1W5 Inquiries about program demonstrations (including videotape system demonstrations) and other local arrangements should be sent to the Local Arrangements Chair: Steve Crocker The Aerospace Corporation P.O.
