AI 2001 Call For Papers http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~stroulia/AI2001 AI 2001 is the Fourteenth Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which will be held between June 7 and 9 2001, in Ottawa. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum where Canadian and international researchers and practitioners in Artificial Intelligence can present their work, exchange scientific ideas and results and explore possibilities for collaboration. As always, papers may represent significant contributions to any aspect of AI, including Theory Knowledge Representation Reasoning and Problem Solving Machine Learning Natural Language Processing Evolutionary Algorithms Intelligent Agents Knowledge Discovery - Data mining Expert Systems Applications Intelligent Information Systems Integration of AI with other disciplines (e.g., biology, software engineering) Emerging AI Applications on the Internet The conference is sponsored by the Canadian Society for Computational Studies of Intelligence (CSCSI/SCEIO). Information on how to join CSCSI/SCEIO can be found at http://cscsi.sfu.ca/membership.html. Conference Format This year, the format of the AI conference will emphasize interaction among the participants. Following each group of papers on a given topic, there will be in-depth discussion of the topic area, the work described in the presentations, and the implications for future research. We expect the AI 2001 attendees to actively participate in the discussion, so that they can explore the potential relevance of the presented work in their own research and give constructive feedback to the presenters. We are also exploring other ideas for encouraging lively interaction during the conference. If you would be interested in proposing a workshop, or a panel discussion, or a birds-of-a-feather session, please contact the chairs. This page will be regularly updated to reflect elaborations on the conference format. Important Dates November 15, 2000: paper submission (electronic preferred) deadline January 25, 2001: notification of acceptance or rejection March 1, 2001: camera-ready copy due June 7-9, 2001: AI 2001 Paper Submission Paper submission will be electronic. Authors should follow the instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html regarding the format of the papers. Submission to Multiple Conferences To encourage interdisciplinary contributions, we will consider work which has been submitted or presented in part elsewhere. However, authors must indicate that their paper has been dually submitted and they must specify where. For questions as to whether a given meeting is considered under the dual submission policy, or for clarifications of this policy, authors should contact the Program Chairs.
