                              AAAI-84


        The 1984 National Conference on Artificial Intelligence

   Sponsored by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence
     (in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery)

                 University of Texas, Austin, Texas

                         August 6-10, 1984

AAAI-84 is the fourth national conference sponsored by the American
Association for Artificial Intelligence.  The purpose of the conference
is to promote scientific research of the highest caliber in Artificial
Intelligence (AI), by bringing together researchers in the field and by
providing a published record of the conference.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

Authors are invited to submit papers on substantial, original, and
previously unreported research in any aspect of AI, including the
following:

AI and Education                        Knowledge Representation
     (including Intelligent CAI)        Learning
AI Architectures and Languages          Methodology
Automated Reasoning                        (including technology transfer)
     (including automatic program-      Natural Language
      ming, automatic theorem-proving,      (including generation,
      commonsense reasoning, planning,       understanding)
      problem-solving, qualitative      Perception (including speech, vision)
      reasoning, search)                Philosophical and Scientific
Cognitive Modelling                                Foundations
Expert Systems                          Robotics



REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION

Timetable:  Authors should submit five (5) complete copies of their
papers (hard copy only---we cannot accept on-line files) to the AAAI
office (address below) no later than April 2, 1984.  Papers received
after this date will be returned unopened.  Notification of acceptance
or rejection will be mailed to the first author (or designated
alternative) by May 4, 1984.

Title page:  Each copy of the paper should have a title page (separate
from the body of the paper) containing the title of the paper, the
complete names and addresses of all authors, and one topic from the
above list (and subtopic, where applicable).

Paper body:  The authors' names should not appear in the body of the
paper.  The body of the paper must include the paper's title and an
abstract.  This part of the paper must be no longer than thirteen (13)
pages, including figures but not including bibliography.  Pages must be
no larger than 8-1/2" by 11", double-spaced (i.e., no more than
twenty-eight (28) lines per page), with text no smaller than standard
pica type (i.e., at least 12 pt. type).  Any submission that does not
conform to these requirements will not be reviewed.  The publishers will
allocate four pages in the conference proceedings for each accepted
paper, and will provide additional pages at a cost to the authors of
$100.00 per page over the four page limit.

Review criteria:  Each paper will be stringently reviewed by experts in
the area specified as the topic of the paper.  Acceptance will be based
on originality and significance of the reported research, as well as
quality of the presentation of the ideas.  Proposals, surveys, system
descriptions, and incremental refinements to previously published work
are not appropriate for inclusion in the conference.  Applications
clearly demonstrating the power of established techniques, as well as
thoughtful critiques and comparisons of previously published material
will be considered, provided that they point the way to new research in
the field and are substantive scientific contributions in their own
right.
