*** Second Announcement ***
Bar-Ilan Symposium on the
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
19-21 June 1989
Sponsored by the Research Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel
Invited speakers:
John McCarthy (Stanford University)
"Formalized Common Sense Knowledge and Reasoning"
Ronald Rivest (M.I.T.)
"Recent Developments in Machine Learning Theory"
Joseph Halpern (IBM Research)
"Reasoning about Knowledge and Probability"
..............................................................
The Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence will publish a
special issue, containing selected refereed full length papers, as a
permanent record of the Symposium. These should be submitted shortly
after the conclusion of the Symposium and be at the standard of the
best professional journals.
High quality research papers are solicited for consideration by the
program committee to be presented at the Symposium. Submission of
extended abstracts should be sent by 31 March 1989 in triplicate to:
Prof. Martin Golumbic
BISFAI-89 Program Chair
IBM Israel Scientific Center
Technion City
Haifa, Israel
or by electronic mail to: golumbic@israearn.bitnet
Decisions on talks will be made within one month of receipt.
..............................................................
The Bar-Ilan Symposium on the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence is
intended to become a biennial event which will focus 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, computer vision, and robotics. These include applied
logicians, algorithms and complexity researchers, AI theorists, and
applications specialists using mathematical methods. By sponsoring such
symposia, we hope to influence the spawning of new areas of applied
mathematics and the strengthening of the scientific underpinnings of
artificial intelligence.
.......... REGISTRATION AND HOTEL ACCOMODATIONS ........
We have reserved a block of hotel accommodations at the
Kfar Hamaccabia Hotel in Ramat Gan, a first-class hotel which also
has sports facilities available gratis for the Symposium participants.
The Symposium will take place at the University, which is a short ride,
