Call for Papers
 
        AI*IA (Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence) has been
founded in 1988 with the intent of promoting the development of study and
research in artificial intelligence and its applications. To this end,
among a variety of activities, AI*IA organizes a National Congress every
other year.
        The first AI*IA Congress took place in Trento in November 1989
and resulted in the presentation of more than 40 scientific papers, the
exhibition of a number of industrial systems and products of AI and the
presence of over 350 partecipants.
        The second Congress, open to international partecipation, will
be held in Palermo and will focus on high quality scientific and technical
results as well as on innovative industrial applications.
        Special sessions on Industrial Experiences are envisaged.
        During these sessions companies operating in the AI field will
have an opportunity to illustrate their activities and to share their
experiences.
 
 
Papers
 
        Papers (5000 words max) must be in English. Authors must send 4
copies including summary (about 200 words) and key words, and they should
point out the scientific topic being treated.
        Papers must treat original research and results or innovative
industrial applications and must not have been previously published.
Accepted papers shall be published in a special volume of "Lecture Notes
in Artificial Intelligence", Springer Verlag ed.
        Italian and English are the Congress official languages.
 
 
Deadlines
