The 21st German Annual Conference on Artificial Intelligence of
the Gesellschaft fuer Informatik, KI-97, will be held on 
September 9-12, 1997 at the Albert-Ludwigs-University in Freiburg. 

One of the main themes of the conference will be "Cognition and
Artificial Intelligence". Co-loacted with the conference is the
Fall School on Cognitive Science, which takes place after the
conference.


The scientific program consists of invited talks, reviewed paper
presentations, workshops, poster sessions, forum discussions about
various topics and system demonstrations. Conference languages are
German and English (simultaneous translation is not available).

Contributions from all aspects of AI are welcome, especially those
(but not exclusively) which address the subjects: knowledge
representation, knowledge acquisition; deduction, inference systems;
diagnosis, classification, planning, configuration and expert systems;
cognition and cognitive systems; image processing and image
understanding; natural language processing; neural networks and connec
tionism; agents and multi agent systems; robotics, social impacts.

Submissions of research papers must be original, neither
published or accepted for publication elsewhere, nor currently going
through a review process at another conference (with exception of
specialised workshops).  Papers and proposals for posters and system
demonstrations should be sent in five (5) copies to one of the two
program chairs.

The length of a paper should not exceed 12 pages in Springer LNCS
format.  Proposals for posters and system demos require the submission
of a one- to four-page summary of the presentation.
