*************** JSAI 2001 International Workshops *************** 

Date: 21 --22 May 2001
Supported by the Fifteenth Annual Conference of Japanese Society of 
Artificial Intelligence (JSAI 2001), 22-25 May, 2001, Matsue, JAPAN


1. International workshops from JSAI 

JSAI Annual conferences have been organized since 1987 to enhance 
studies on artificial intelligence, mainly of Japanese domestic 
researchers, with sessions mostly made of presentations/discussions 
in Japanese. 

The presentations in these series of events became the seeds of 
various later success of basic and applied studies, not only in the
area of AI but also to authorized and newly recognized relevant 
areas, e.g. successful business applications, robot soccer games etc. 

JSAI2001 will be the first JSAI conference holding international 
sessions and international workshops, co-located with the main 
conference. This aims at having people looking at various current AI 
studies/trends from various aspects stimulate each other, in an 
environment where new meaningful directions are desired by attendants. 

Workshops are intended to focus attentions to specific research 
issues/ topics, and to informal and exciting presentations and 
discussions on problems important even though not authorized, and 
ideas interesting even though not yet established. Rather than 
accepting matured results, we would like to supply places to make 
new ideas and new meaningful directions grow.
