Through paper presentations and discussions, the participants will exchange, compare, and contrast results in the area. The workshop is planned as a one-day event to immediately precede FLAIRS-94 (Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Symposium). Workshop participants are encouraged to also submit papers to FLAIRS and attend the conference. The workshop will be conducted as a combination of paper presentations, a poster session, an invited talk, and a panel discussion. The format will provide ample time for discussions and exchange of ideas. The workshop registration fee will be waived for those who register for FLAIRS-94. Submission of high quality papers or extended abstracts describing mature results or on-going work are invited for all areas of temporal representation and reasoning, including, but not limited to: temporal logics and ontologies temporal languages and architectures planning, actions, and events frame problem continuous versus discrete time point versus interval representations temporal knowledge, belief, and uncertainty temporal learning and discovery multiple agents, communication, and synchronization foundational issues and applications To maximize interaction among participants, the size of the workshop will be limited. Accepted papers will be invited for full presentation or a poster presentation. All submissions must be received by December 1, 1993. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the first author (or designated author) on February 1, 1994. Prospective participants should submit 5 copies of a 5-8 page extended abstract to: TIME-94, Department of Computer Science, University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada S4S 0A2. For further information and future announcements send email to: time94@cs.uregina.ca. INVITED SPEAKER Thomas Dean is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University. His research is concerned with theories of temporal and spatial inference for reasoning about actions and processes. His current focus is on reasoning with incomplete and probabilistic information. Dean was the recipient of an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1989. He was program co-chair for the 1991 National Conference on Artificial Intelligence and currently serves on the AAAI Council.
