CALL for PARTICIPATION The Fourth UNB Artificial Intelligence Symposium University of New Brunswick Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada Friday & Saturday, Sept. 20 & 21, 1991 Sponsored by: Faculty of Computer Science, University of New Brunswick Bell-Northern Research Canadian Society for Computational Studies of Intelligence In Cooperation with: The American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) IEEE Computer Society International Association of Knowledge Engineers (IAKE) Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence Keynote Address: "Self-Reliant Robots: The Ambler Rover and Beyond" by Dr. Reid Simmons, Research Computer Scientist, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA Panel Discussion (1.5 hours): "On the Role of Machine Learning in Artificial Intelligence" The UNB Artificial Intelligence Symposium provides a forum for an exchange of ideas, experiences and information about activities in artificial intelligence. Your participation is invited in the form of (1) a paper to be reviewed (nominally by three reviewers) and, if accepted, published and presented at the Symposium, or (2) a half-day tutorial on a suitable AI topic, to be presented at the Symposium. All tutorial proposals must have a stated goal, a detailed outline (2 - 5 pages), target audience defined, and a brief resume of the tutorial presenter(s), or (3) an exhibit or display of artificial intelligence technology. Important Dates: May 15, 1991 Four copies of an extended abstract (2 to 4 double spaced pages) or a full paper (max. 11 pages, including figures) to one of the Program Co-Chairs (see address below). July 1, 1991 Notification of acceptance will be mailed. August 15, 1991 Final camera-ready copies of papers due. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to Foundations of AI Connectionist Theory & Applications Pattern Recognition Machine Learning Knowledge Acquisition Automated Theorem Proving Computer Vision Knowledge Representation Natural Language Processing Temporal Reasoning Knowledge-Based Systems Database/Knowledge Base Integration Robotics Real-Time Expert Systems Automated Planning Expert System Verification Automated Scheduling Novel Architectures for AI Case-Based Reasoning Truth Maintenance Systems Reasoning Under Uncertainty Program Committee: Ranan Banerji, St. Joseph's U., Philadelphia, PA Wolfgang Bibel, I.T.H., Darmstadt, West Germany David Bonham, Mechanical Eng., U.N.B.
