////////// Workshop Announcement - Call for Participation \\\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\\\ Second Workshop on Plan Recognition //////////
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ //////////////////////////////////
11th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Detroit, Michigan, Monday August 21, 1989
Plan recognition problems remain at the center of a great deal of AI
related research. This workshop will bring together researchers and
practitioners who are interested in sharing their work on problems
associated with inferring a goal-based explanation of the behavior of
one or more agents. Closely related problems include inferring an
author's plans from text, and inferring a programmer's intentions from
code.
Problems of this sort often seem to lie at the heart of intelligence;
people can apparently select just the right explanatory principles
from a large store of knowledge. These problems have encouraged
interest in nontraditional control structures such a marker passing,
parallelism, and connectionism. To date no decisive solutions have
been obtained.
FORMAT:
This is intended to be a forum for the presentation and discussion of
current ideas and approaches. The format will consist of individual
presentations followed by adequate time for interaction with peers.
To maximize interaction, participation will be limited to about 30-35
attendees, with no more than 10-12 presentations.
PARTICIPATION:
Those interested in attending should submit a one-page description of
their research interests and current work to one of the organizing
committee by June 23. Those interested in making a presentation should
submit an extended abstract (3-5 pages) of their intended topic.
Electronic submissions are encourage. Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be given by July 14. Any materials to be reproduced and
distributed at the workshop must be submitted by August 11.
