----------------------------------------------------------------

AI Applications in Knowledge Navigation and Retrieval

AAAI Fall Symposium
MIT, Nov. 10-12, 1995
Position papers due: May 12

----------------------------------------------------------------

We are inviting 1 page position papers from individuals who would like
to participate in the symposium.

Some research issues of interest:

Indexing: What indexing methods are appropriate and feasible for
knowledge navigation systems? How can indices be extracted from data? 

Retrieval: What retrieval methods are appropriate for knowledge
navigation? What retrieval strategies can be employed?

Learning: How can knowledge navigation systems adapt to a changing
knowledge environment and to user needs?

User interfaces: What are the characteristics of a useful navigational
interface? What roles can/should an "agent" metaphor play in such
interfaces? How can a navigation system orient the user in the
information space?

Multi-source integration: How can multiple data and knowledge sources
be integrated to address users' needs?

Multimedia: What are the challenges presented by multimedia information
sources? 

The symposium will consist of invited talks, presentations, and
hands-on demonstration/discussion sessions. Researchers with interests
in any of these issues are invited to submit 1 page (no more than 700
word) position papers on one or more of these topics.

Submit via email either (1) an ASCII version of the position paper,
(2) a URL pointing to an ASCII file, to the address
aiakn@cs.uchicago.edu. Or send 2 hard copies to
