\noindent
The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA'95)
will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal, on October 3-6,
1995.  As in previous issues ('89, '91, and '93), EPIA'95 will be run
as an international conference, English being the official language.
The scientific program encompasses tutorials, invited lectures,
demonstrations, and paper presentations. Five well known researchers
will present invited lectures.  The conference is devoted to all areas
of Artificial Intelligence and will cover both theoretical and
foundational issues and applications as well.  Parallel workshops on
Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks, and Applications of
A.I.  to Robotics and Vision Systems will run simultaneously (see
below).

\subsubsection*{Invited Lecturers}
The following researchers have already confirmed their participation,
as guest speakers:
\vspace*{-\medskipamount}
\begin{center}
                 Marvin Minsky, MIT (USA)\\
                 Manuela Veloso, CMU (USA)\\
          Lu\'{\i}s  Borges de Almeida, IST (Portugal)\\
                 Rodney Brooks, MIT (USA)
\end{center}

\subsubsection*{Submission of Papers}
Authors must submit five (5) complete printed copies of their papers
to the ``EPIA'95 submission address". Fax or electronic submissions
will not be accepted. Submissions must be printed on $A4$ or $8\:
1/2'' \times 11''$ paper using 12 point type. Each page must have a
maximum of 38 lines and an average of 75 characters per line
(corresponding to the \LaTeX\ article-style, 12 point).  Double-sided
printing is strongly encouraged. The body of submitted papers must be
at most 12 pages, including title, abstract, figures, tables, and
diagrams, but excluding the title page and bibliography.

\subsubsection*{Electronic Abstract}
\begin{sloppypar}
In addition to submitting the paper copies, authors should send to
Co{\tt epia95-abstracts@inesc.pt} a short (200 words) electronic abstract
of their paper to aid the reviewing process. The electronic abstract
must be in plain ASCII text (no LaTeX)) in the following format:
\end{sloppypar}
\indent\indent TITLE: {\tt <title of the paper>}\\
\indent\indent FIRST AUTHOR: {\tt <last name, first name>}\\
\indent\indent EMAIL: {\tt <email of the first author>}\\
\indent\indent FIRST ADDRESS: {\tt <first author address>}\\
\indent\indent COAUTHORS: {\tt <their names, if any>}\\
\indent\indent KEYWORDS: {\tt <keywords separated by commas>}\\
\indent\indent ABSTRACT: {\tt <text of the abstract>}\\
Authors are requested to select 1-3 appropriate keywords from the list
below. Authors are welcome to add additional keywords descriptors as
needed. Applications, agent-oriented programming, automated reasoning,
belief revision, case-based reasoning, common sense reasoning,
constraint satisfaction, distributed AI, expert systems, genetic
algorithms, knowledge representation, logic programming, machine
learning, natural language understanding, nonmonotonic reasoning,
planning, qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, robotics, spatial
reasoning, theorem proving, theory of computation, tutoring systems.

\subsubsection*{Review of Papers}
Submissions will be judged on significance, originality, quality and
clarity.  Reviewing will be blind to the identities of the authors.
This requires that authors exercise some care not to identify
themselves in their papers. Each copy of the paper must have a title
page, separated from the body of the paper, including the title of the
paper, the names and addresses of all authors, a list of content areas
(see above) and any acknowledgments. The second page should include
the same title, a short abstract of less than 200 words, and the exact
same contents areas, but not the names nor affiliations of the
authors.  This page may include text of the paper.  The references
should include all published literature relevant to the paper,
including previous works of the authors, but should not include
unpublished works of the authors. When referring to one's own work,
use the third person. For example, say ``previously, Peter [17] has
shown that ...".  Try to avoid including any information in the body
of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their
institutions.  Such information can be added to the final camera-ready
version for publication.  Please do not staple the title page to the
body of the paper. Submitted papers must be unpublished.

\subsubsection*{Publication}
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag (lecture
notes in A.I. series). Authors  will be required to transfer
copyright of their paper to Springer-Verlag.

\subsubsection*{Associated Workshops}
In the framework of the conference three workshops will be organized:
Applications of Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks in
Engineering, and Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Robotics
and Vision Systems.  Real world applications, running systems, and
demos are welcome.

\subsubsection*{Planning to Attend}
People planning to submit a paper or/and to attend the conference or
attend a workshop are asked to send a note (inquiries address)
standing their intention, as early as possible, to the conference
organizers, in order to estimate the facilities needed for the
conference.
