CALL FOR PAPERS
AAAI Workshop on Model-Based Reasoning
to be held at
Ninth National Converence on Artificial Intelligence
Symbolic models have been built to describe systems such as
electronic circuits, factories, gear chains and kidneys. In addition,
symbolic models have been built to describe tasks such as
design, diagnosis, planning, scheduling and simulation. The AAAI-91
workshop on Model-based Reasoning will focus on both innovative
and practical ideas which have led to operational success, high
performance, or realistic scientific or business complexity.
Submissions are solicited concerning the design, implementation,
operation, and effects of using model-based systems in various
disciplines including engineering, manufacturing and medicine.
Discussion of ideas which led to problems and limitations will also
be welcome. Submissions describing fielded or field-tested models
are particularly welcome. As in past workshops, each author will be
asked to prepare a paper for inclusion in a volume of working notes
which will be distributed to participants at the time of the
workshop.
Submissions might choose to emphasize any of the following issues:
- Validation: how was validation planned and performed?
- Maintenance: who maintains models; what helps or hinders
maintenance?
- Development methodology: what approaches were taken?
- Content: to what extend are models built using standard domain
principles, and to what extent are innovative procedures used?
- Multiple models: how are multiple models created and related?
- Scaleup: how were models extended from prototype to realistic
size?
Deadlines are as follows:
March 8, 1991 Deadline for abstracts (4 page limit)
April 15, 1991 Acceptance notices sent
May 24, 1991 Camera-ready papers due to AAAI (10 page limit)
The workshop will be held at the time of AAAI-91 in Anaheim,
during the week of July 15, 1991.
Workshop attendance is by invitation, to permit free discussion
among participants. Researchers interested in an invitation without
preparing a paper should submit a letter to one of the workshop
chairs, by the abstract deadline, describing their background and
interests.
