**************************************** Call for papers: ECAI 2006 - Workshop on Approaches and Applications for Inductive Programming (AAIP) The second workshop on inductive programming will be held on Tuesday, 29th August 2006 in conjunction with the 17th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2006) in Riva del Garda, Italy. ECAI 2006 page: http://ecai2006.itc.it/cda/aree/ AAIP Workshop page: http://www.cogsys.wiai.uni-bamberg.de/aaip06/ In the workshop, we aim at bringing together researchers working on different approaches to inductive programming with the goal of discussing and evaluating the relative strengths and limitations of the different approaches (class of learnable programs, quality of learned programs, amount of background knowledge needed for synthesis, efficiency of synthesis, etc.). Furthermore, we are interested in presenting current applications and discussing possible further application domains. The workshop will be interesting to anyone studying the synthesis of general programs. Relevant areas include but are not limited to inductive logic programming, evolutionary programming, synthesis of functional programs, grammar inference and algorithmic learning theory. Submitted papers can report on work in progress (4-12 pages) or be full papers (6-12 pages). All submissions will be peer reviewed by two referees. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Authors should submit papers using the same format and length as will be required for the final version in the proceedings which will be made available to the participants in electronic form prior to the workshop. Authors are encouraged to use the style provided for standard submission to ECAI available via the ECAI webpages. To submit your paper, please send it as pdf with e-mail to emanuel.kitzelmann(at)wiai.uni-bamberg.de together with an indication whether the paper is a work in progress report or a full paper. Please also indicate (per email to the address above) if you do not wish to be included in the mailing list for the workshop where discussions on relevant open problems and possibilites for cooperation may take place before the workshop begins. The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2006. Further deadlines are: May 10, 2006 Notification of workshop paper acceptance May 24, 2006 Workshop camera ready copy submission Aug 29, 2006 Workshop More information about the workshop and the program committee can be found at the workshop webpage: http://www.cogsys.wiai.uni-bamberg.de/aaip06/index.html Welcome to the second workshop on AAIP covering all areas of program induction!
