Submission Guidelines: Extended abstracts should be 6-12 pages in length,
including references and figures. Submissions should be made electronically,
as attachments in Postscript or PDF format. Click at the website to submit.
The official proceedings will be web-based and made available at the BISFAI
website.
System Demonstrations: We also solicit proposals for demonstrations of
innovative applications of artificialintelligence, of length 1-2 pages.
Click at the website to submit.
Special Issue: Selected papers will be reviewed for journal publication
in Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.
Multiple Submissions: Papers may be submitted to BISFAI even if submitted to
other conferences or journals, because the BISFAI website is not archival.
Of course, if a paper is accepted at an archival conference such as AAAI or
IJCAI and also presented at BISFAI, this paper must be substantially revised
and/or extended for consideration for journal publication.
Previously presented or published papers are unacceptable.
The BISFAI-01 program and schedule will be available online. Abstracts of
invited and accepted papers will be made available on the abstracts page,
with pointers to online versions of the paper, when available
at the BISFAI website: www.cs.biu.ac.il/~bisfai
