Submit four (4) complete copies of papers to the program chair.  Papers
must be received by 9 January 1990.  Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) by 19
February 1990.  Camera ready copy of accepted papers will be due 20 March
1990.

All copies of the paper must be clearly legible.  Print papers on 8-1/2" by
11" or A4 paper with at least 1-1/2" margins, using 12-pt type.  (The LaTeX
or Scribe "article" styles, with "12pt" type, conform to these requirements

tables, and diagrams.  Papers must have a separate title page, containing
the title of the paper, the names and addresses of all authors, and a short
abstract.  Papers must contain a concise statement of the original
contribution made to Artificial Intelligence research.  Papers will be
allocated eight (8) pages in the conference proceedings.  Papers which are
also being submitted to other conferences, whether verbatim or in essence,
must have this fact clearly indicated on the title page.

All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee.  Acceptance will
be based on the overall merit and significance of the reported research, as
well as the quality of the presentation.  As a condition of acceptance, the
author, or one of the co-authors, will be required to present the paper at
the conference.

The journal Artificial Intelligence has offered a best paper prize for the
conference.  This paper will be offered publication in the journal.
Selection of the best paper will be done by the program committee.
