         10th ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING (SAC '96)
             ++SPECIAL TRACK ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE++
                       February 17 - 19, 1996
                Marriott Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Over the past ten years, Symposium on Applied Computing has become a
primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers
from around the world to interact and present their work.  SAC '96 is
sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups SIGAda, SIGAPP, SIGBIO,
SIGCUE, and SIGICE.

Special track on Artificial Intelligence (AI)
==============================================

A special track on Artificial Intelligence will be held in SAC '96.  It
will be a forum for scientists, engineers, researchers and practitioners
throughout the world to share technical ideas and experiences relating to
implementation, application and evaluation of Artificial Intelligence
techniques.  Original papers and tutorials (half or full day) and panel
proposals are invited in all areas of AI applications.  Major topics of
interest include, but are not limited to the following:

         o Intelligent Front-Ends
         o Natural Language Processing
         o Diagram Interpretation
         o User Modelling
         o Integration with existing software or data systems
         o Design or selection of information presentations (esp. multi-modal)
         o Automatic design of software interfaces or other tools


Guidelines For Submission 
=========================

Original papers dealing with any aspect of Artificial Intelligence
will be considered for presentation and publication in the SAC '96 
Proceedings.  This includes three categories of submissions:  
   1) original and unpublished research; 
   2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, 
      engineering, business, government, education and industry; and, 
   3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.  

All submissions will be subject to peer review.  Accepted papers in all
categories will be published in the symposium proceedings.  Expanded
versions of selected papers from all categories will be considered for
publication in the ACM/SIGAPP quarterly Applied Computing Review or one of
the other participating SIGs' publications.

   o An intention-to-submit by email to robert@cogsci.ed.ac.uk
     would be appreciated.  Please include the title, some keywords and a
     one-paragraph summary of the paper and an indication of whether you
     intend to submit electronically or on paper.

   o The body of a long paper should  not  exceed  4,000  words 
     (approx. 15 pages, double-spaced).  

   o Author name(s)  and  address(es)  must NOT appear  in  the  body 
     of  the paper, and self reference should be in third person.

   o Separate from the paper, authors must provide the following 
     contact information:

             o  title of the paper
	     o  author(s) and affiliation(s),
             o  address for correspondence (with fax and phone number)
	     o email address for correspondence (if available).
      If an email address is given, it will be used.

   o All papers must be received by SEPTEMBER 4TH, 1995.

     NOTE:
     The Track Chair will have limited access to email
     for the three weeks prior to this deadline: do not rely on getting
     answers to last-minute questions!  Moreover, since the reviewing
     period is only two months, THIS 
     DEADLINE IS FINAL, and any submissions received after it will be
     ignored.

   o TO SUBMIT ON PAPER, send the Track Chair a single package
     containing:
        o FOUR copies of the manuscript
        o ONE separate cover sheet containing contact information.
     Please ensure that the package is clearly marked as a submission to 
     the SAC'96.

   o ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS can be accepted as either a single
     file of ASCII text or a single file postscript.  These files
     must not identify the authors of the papers
     Use anonymous ftp to transfer that file to ftp.cogsci.ed.ac.uk.
     
     Put it in the directory /pub/SAC/incoming, using a file name derived
     from the title.  When you have done this, send an email notification
     to the track chair (robert@cogsci.ed.ac.uk).  This should have the
     subject line ``SAC Submission'', and should contain the contact
     information for the paper, the name and length in bytes of the file
     transferred and the time it was transferred.


Current information about the track, and further information about
the Symposium, is available at 
   http://www.acm.org/conferences/computing_week/SAC96/

General enquiries should be sent to the Symposium Chair or the Program Chair.
