Bar-Ilan Symposium
on the
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
Bar-Ilan University
Ramat Gan, Israel

Bar-Ilan University is pleased to announce its second Symposium on the
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (BISFAI-91). The Symposium is
international in scope, with invited lectures by leading researchers
and contributed papers on foundations of AI. A special track on
theoretical issues in Natural Language Processing (NLP) will be held
on the opening day.
.............. CALL FOR PAPERS ..............
High quality research papers are solicited for consideration by the
program committee to be presented at the Symposium. Submissions of
extended abstracts of 4-10 pages or full papers must arrive by 30 March
1991 and should be sent in triplicate as follows:
General session: Special track on theoretical issues in NLP:

............ SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION ..........
This biennial event focuses on a range of topics of concern to
scholars applying quantitative, combinatorial, logical, algebraic
and algorithmic methods to AI areas as diverse as decision support,
automatic reasoning, knowledge-based systems, machine learning,
computational linguistics, computer vision, and robotics. These
include applied logicians, algorithms and complexity researchers, AI
theorists, and applications specialists using mathematical methods.
Although a small meeting is anticipated, with selected speakers and no
parallel sessions, an attempt will be made to open attendance to all
interested research scientists.
