Due to the war in the middle east and the resulting travel apprehensions, the
deadlines for early registration for the IEEE Conference on AI Applications
have been extended. It is hoped that this will make it easier for people who
have not yet finalized their plans. The conference rate for hotel
accommodations will be open until February 2nd. The conference early
registration deadline is extended for non-US attendees to February 11th.
Please forward this information to anyone who might be interested. More
details on the conference are given below. Tim
