                          2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

     10th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 92)

                   August 3-7, 1992, Vienna, Austria
                                         

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: January 17, 1992

Papers must be received by the Programme Chairperson before January  17,
1992.  Authors  will  be notified of acceptance or rejection by April 1,
1992. Final camera-ready papers must be received by May 15, 1992.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Authors are requested to submit to the Programme Chairperson 5 copies of
papers  written  in  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 Submitted papers must be unpublished,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 long papers (completed research: maximum 5000 words
/  10  single-spaced  pages)  or short papers (ongoing research: maximum
2000 words / 4 pages). Each full page of figures counts  as  500  words.
Each  paper  should  contain an abstract (maximum 200 words). A separate
title page should include the  title,  the  name(s)  of  the  author(s),
complete  address(es),  the specification of one of the topics,  and the 
category long or short.  Papers should be printed on  A4  or  8.5" x 11" 
sized  paper  in letter quality print, with 12 point type (10 chars/inch
on typewriter).

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.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

You are invited to submit an original  research  paper  on  any  of  the
following subjects:

- Automated  Reasoning  (e.g.  automatic  programming,  reasoning   with
     uncertainty,   theorem   proving,  constraint  satisfaction,  logic
     programming, search)
- Cognitive  Modeling  (e.g.  models  for  human  problem  solving   and
     information  processing,  memory  models, computational theories in
     psychology)
- Connectionist and PDP Models for AI (e.g. connectionist architectures,
     connectionist learning, neural networks applications)
- Distributed  AI  and  Multiagent  Systems  (e.g.  distributed  problem
     solving,    distributed    resource    allocation,   communication,
     cooperation)
- Enabling  Technology  and  Systems  (e.g.  machine  architectures,  AI
     computer languages, tools for AI system development)
- Integrated Systems (e.g. integrating several AI  components,  embedded
     AI, integrating AI and conventional systems)
- Knowledge Representation (e.g. terminological knowledge,  nonmonotonic
     logic,  foundations  of  temporal,  causal  and  spatial reasoning,
     abduction, common sense, complexity of reasoning)
- Machine  Learning  (e.g.  inductive  learning,   knowledge   intensive
     learning, discovery, concept formation)
- Natural Language  (e.g.  text  generation  and  understanding,  speech
     understanding, syntax, semantics, discourse, representation issues,
     NL system architecture)
- Philosophical Foundations (e.g. philosophy of mind, functionalism  and
     AI, epistemological foundations)
- Planning, Scheduling, and Reasoning about Actions (e.g.  temporal  and
     causal  reasoning  for planning, task scheduling, plan recognition,
     resource allocation)
- Principles of  AI  Applications  (e.g.  generic  applications,  expert
     system  design, tutoring systems, knowledge acquisition, case-based
     reasoning)
- Reasoning  about  Physical   Systems   (e.g.   modeling,   model-based
     simulation,  qualitative  reasoning, diagnosis, design, monitoring,
     applications  of  causal,  temporal  and  spatial   reasoning   for
     engineering, scientific, medical, economic problems)
- Robotics (e.g. connecting perception to action, sensor-motor  systems,
     kinematics, navigation, grasping)
- Social, Economic, Legal, and Artistic Implications (e.g. AI scenarios,
     ethical issues, legal issues and responsibility, AI and music)
- User  Interfaces  (e.g.  intelligent  graphical  interfaces,   natural
     language  front  ends,  user  models,  knowledge-based  information
     presentation, artificial reality)
- Verification, Validation  &  Test  of  Knowledge-Based  Systems  (e.g.
     improving and securing consistency, completeness, reliability)
- Vision  and  Signal  Understanding  (e.g.  vision  and  perception  in
     biological    and   technical   systems,   sensor   interpretation,
     intelligent signal interpretation).

THE CONFERENCE

The  European  Conference  on  Artificial  Intelligence  (ECAI)  is  the
European  forum for scientific exchange and presentation of AI research.
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  (OGAI).  The  conference  will  take  place  at the Vienna
University of Economics and Business Administration.
