The aim of the conference is to cover all aspects of AI research and to bring together basic research and applied research. The Technical Programme will include paper presentations, invited talks, panels, workshops, and tutorials. The conference is designed to cover all subfields of AI, including non-symbolic methods. ECAIs are held in alternate years and are organized by the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI). The 10th ECAI in 1992 will be hosted by the Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence (\"{O}GAI). The conference will take place at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. \cfphead{TOPICS OF INTEREST} You are invited to submit an original research paper on any of the following subjects: \begin{list} {$\bullet$}{\setlength{\topsep}{1pt}\setlength{\leftmargin}{5mm} \setlength{\parsep}{0pt}\setlength{\itemsep}{1pt}} \sfcode`\.=1000\relax% avoid end-of-sentence after e.g. %\setlength{\baselineskip}{0pt} \item Automated Reasoning \Small{(e.g. automatic programming, reasoning with uncertainty, theorem proving, constraint satisfaction, logic programming, search)} \item Cognitive Modeling \Small{(e.g. models for human problem solving and information processing, memory models, computational theories in psychology)} \item Connectionist and PDP Models for AI \Small{(e.g. connectionist architectures, connectionist learning, neural networks applications)} \item Distributed AI and Multiagent Systems \Small{(e.g. distributed problem solving, distributed resource allocation, communication, cooperation)} \item Enabling Technology and Systems \Small{(e.g. machine architectures, AI computer languages, tools for AI system development)} \item Integrated Systems \Small{(e.g. integrating several AI components, embedded AI, integrating AI and conventional systems)} \item Knowledge Representation \Small{(e.g. terminological knowledge, nonmonotonic logic, foundations of temporal, causal and spatial reasoning, abduction, common sense, complexity of reasoning)} \item Machine Learning \Small{(e.g. inductive learning, knowledge intensive learning, discovery, concept formation)} \item Natural Language \Small{(e.g. text generation and understanding, speech understanding, syntax, semantics, discourse, representation issues, NL system architecture)} \item Philosophical Foundations \Small{(e.g. philosophy of mind, functionalism and AI, epistemological foundations)} \item Planning, Scheduling, and Reasoning about Actions \Small{(e.g. temporal and causal reasoning for planning, task scheduling, plan recognition, resource allocation)} \item Principles of AI Applications \Small{(e.g. generic applications, expert system design, tutoring systems, knowledge acquisition, case-based reasoning)} \item Reasoning about Physical Systems \Small{(e.g. modeling, model-based simulation, qualitative reasoning, diagnosis, design, monitoring, applications of causal, temporal and spatial reasoning for engineering, scientific, medical, economic problems)} \item Robotics \Small{(e.g. connecting perception to action, sensor-motor systems, kinematics, navigation, grasping)} \item Social, Economic, Legal, and Artistic Implications \Small{(e.g. AI scenarios, ethical issues, legal issues and responsibility, AI and music)} \item User Interfaces \Small{(e.g. intelligent graphical interfaces, natural language front ends, user models, knowledge-based information presentation, artificial reality)} \item Verification, Validation \& Test of Knowledge-Based Systems \Small{(e.g. improving and securing consistency, completeness, reliability)} \item Vision and Signal Understanding \Small{(e.g. vision and perception in biological and technical systems, sensor interpretation, intelligent signal interpretation)} \end{list} \cfphead{SUBMISSION OF PAPERS} Authors are requested to submit to the Programme Chairperson 5 copies of papers written in {\bf English} in hardcopy format (electronic and fax submissions will not be accepted). Submitted papers must be unpublished, original work and substantially different from papers currently under review. They must not be submitted elsewhere before notification date. This restriction does not apply to workshops and similar specialized presentations with a limited audience. Papers can be either {\bf long papers} (completed research: maximum 5000 words / 10 single-spaced pages) or {\bf short papers} (ongoing research: maximum 2000 words / 4 pages). Each full page of figures counts as 500 words. Each paper should contain an {\bf abstract} (maximum 200 words). A separate {\bf title page} should include the title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete address(es), the specification of one of the above {\bf topics}, and the {\bf category} long or short. Papers should be printed on A4 or 8.5``$\times$11`` sized paper in letter quality print, with 12 point type (10 chars/inch on typewriter). \newpage Work described in an accepted paper may also be illustrated with a videotape or a demo. Special sessions will be scheduled for video presentations and demos. Authors wishing to show a videotape or a demo should specify the duration and the requirements of the videotape/demo when submitting their paper for review. \cfphead{TIMETABLE} Papers must be received by the Programme Chairperson before {\bf January 17, 1992}. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by {\bf April 1, 1992}. Final camera-ready papers must be received by {\bf May 15, 1992}. \cfphead{WORKSHOPS} Workshops are welcome at ECAI 92. They will give participants the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in a small, informal environment, which encourages interaction and exchange of ideas. Workshop proposals should be sent to the Programme Chairperson as soon as possible, but not later than {\bf January 17, 1992}. Workshop proposals should contain a brief description of the workshop and the technical issues addressed, a preliminary schedule, and the names and addresses (postal, phone, fax, e-mail) of the Organizing Committee of the workshop. The proposals will be reviewed and the organizers will be notified not later than February 28, 1992. The organizers are responsible for producing a call for participation, for reviewing requests to participate and for scheduling the workshop activities within the constraints set by the conference organizers. Workshops will be scheduled outside the main technical programme. \cfphead{ECAI PRIZE} A prize for the best paper as determined by the Programme Committee will be awarded; the Digital Equipment Prize will also be awarded at ECAI\ 92. \cfphead{PROGRAMME CHAIRPERSON} Papers, workshop proposals and all inquiries regarding the programme should be sent to the Programme Chairperson: \begin{tabbing} MM\=\kill \>Prof. Bernd Neumann \\ \>FB Informatik \\ \>University of Hamburg \\ \>Bodenstedtstr.16 \\ \>D-W-2000 Hamburg 50 \\ \>Germany \end{tabbing} \cfphead{PROGRAMME COMMITTEE} \small \begin{minipage}[t]{6cm} \begin{list} {$\bullet$}{\setlength{\leftmargin}{5 mm}\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}} \item Luigia Carlucci Aiello, Italy \item Giuseppe Attardi, Italy \item Wolfgang Bibel, Germany \item Mike Brady, United Kingdom \item Ivan Bratko, Yugoslavia \item Alan R.
