From: Ron Brachman <Brachman at SRI-KL> CALL FOR PAPERS 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.
