Eleventh International Joint Conference on
Artificial Intelligence
------------------------------------------------
Detroit, Michigan U.S.A
August 20 thru 26 1989
------------------------------------------------
The International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI)
continue to be the premier forum for international scientific
exchange and presentation of AI research. The next conference will
be held in Detroit, Michigan USA from August 20 through August 26,
1989. The conference is sponsored by the International Joint
Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Inc. (IJCAII) and is co-
sponsored and hosted by the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI) and a broadly-based consortium of academic,
industrial and governmental institutions in the Southeastern
Michigan region.
The conference is designed to give representation to all subfields of
AI including research of all kinds. The conference will also highlight
the relationship of AI to other related disciplines. The technical
program will comprise a Paper Track focusing on empirical,
analytical, theoretical, conceptual, foundational aspects and applied
research; and a Videotape Track focusing on applications in all
subfields best suited for this form of presentation.
The Eleventh IJCAI will feature:
o an outstanding technical program;
o state-of-the-art exhibit of AI related hardware and software;
o stimulating and informative tutorials;
o special events that include prizes, awards, panels and workshops;
o visits to academic and industrial research centers and
o automobile manufacturing plants; and
o an interesting variety of extra-conference activities.
The official language of the conference is English, both for papers
and videotapes. The major areas and subareas are indicated below.
A. AI Tools and Technologies
A1. Machine Architectures, Languages, Shells
A2. Parallel and Distributed Processing
A3. Real-Time Performance
B. Fundamental Problems, Methods, Approaches

Paper Track Submission:
Authors should submit five (5) copies of their papers in hard copy
form. Papers should be a minimum of 2000 words (about four pages
single spaced) to a maximum of 5000 words (about 10 pages single
spaced). Papers should be printed on 8.5"x11.0" or European A4
sized paper, with 1.5" margins, using 12 pt type and be of letter-
quality print (no dot matrix printouts). Each full page figure counts
for 500 words.
Each paper should contain the following information:
o Title of paper
o Full names of all authors and complete addresses
o Abstract of 100-200 words
o Length of the paper in words
o The area/subarea in which the paper should be reviewed
o Declaration of multiple submissions.
If the paper submitted to IJCAI-89 is similar in substance or form to
another paper submitted to other major conferences in 1989, this
must be declared by the author.
Papers will be uniformly subject to peer review. Selection criteria
include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of
results and the quality of the presentation. Late submissions will be
automatically rejected without review. The decision of the Program
Committee will be final and cannot be appealed. Papers selected will
be scheduled for presentation and will be printed in the Proceedings.
Videotape Track Submission:
Authors should submit one (1) copy of a videotape of 15 minutes
maximum duration, of applied research, accompanied by a
submission letter that includes
o Title
o Full names of authors and complete addresses
o Tape format (indicate one of NTSC, PAL or SECAM; and one of VHS
or .75" U-matic)
o Duration of tape in minutes
o An abstract not to exceed 100 words.
Late submissions will be automatically rejected without review.
Tapes will not be returned; authors must retain extra copies for
making revisions. All submissions will be converted to NTSC format
before review. Permission to copy for review purposes is
required and authors should indicate this in the submission letter.
This track is reserved for displaying interesting applications to real-
world problems arising in industrial, commercial, space, defense and
educational arenas. This track is designed to demonstrate the
current level of usefulness of AI tools, techniques and methods.
Tapes will be reviewed and selected for presentation during the
conference. The following criteria will guide the selection:
o Level of interest to the conference audience
o Clarity of goals, methods and results
o Presentation quality (including audio, video and pace)
Preference will be given to applications that show a good level of
maturity. Tapes which are deemed to be advertising commercial
products, propaganda, purely expository materials, merely taped
lectures or other material not of scientific or technical value will be
rejected.
