KBCS 2002
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KNOWLEDGE BASED COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Mumbai, India, December 18 - 21, 2002
http://www.ncst.ernet.in/kbcs2002
Second Call for Papers
++++++++++++++++++++++
The KBCS series of conferences, held every two years, is intended to
act as a forum for promoting interaction among researchers in the field
of Artificial Intelligence in India and abroad. The schedule includes
a three-day conference on KBCS from Dec 19-21, and one day of tutorials,
on the 18th. Papers are invited on substantial, original and unpublished
research on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence, including, but not
limited to those given below.
This year, ICON-2002, International Conference on Natural Language
Processing, will be held concurrently with KBCS-2002. Authors may,
therefore, choose to submit papers focusing on Natural Language
Processing (NLP) to ICON-2002. KBCS-2002 will also consider NLP papers
provided they have substantial AI content. The programme committee may
shift some papers between these two conferences based on content and
suitability.

---------------------
Papers should be in English, not exceeding 5000 words (including
figures and references). Papers should include an abstract of about
100-200 words. Papers outside the specified length are subject to

care to see that there aue no indirect clues to the identity of the
author or the institution (e.g. self-citations reading 'in our earlier
work cited below' ... etc)
Submissions should be in electronic form and can be in any of the
following formats: PDF, Latex or Microsoft Word (RTF format). Papers
may be submitted by E-mail or via the web at the URL given. Those who
are unable to make electronic submissions may send four hard copies of
the paper. Papers selected for the conference will be published in the
proceedings.
Call for Tutorials:
-------------------
Proposals are invited for conference tutorials. Tutorials can be of
half-day or full-day duration. The proposal should be presented in the
