researchers around the world. The conference will be held in conjunction
with GI'2003 (Graphics Interface) and VI'2003 (Vision Interface). Conference
participants who register for any one conference can attend all three
conferences. AI'2003 invites papers that present original work in all areas
of Artificial Intelligence, either theoretical or applied, including, but
not limited to
Knowledge Representation
Automated Reasoning Agent and Multiagent Systems
Search User Modeling
Constraint Satisfaction AI and Smart Graphics
Natural Language AI and E-Commerce
Planning AI and Information Processing
Machine Learning AI and Bioinformatics
Neural Nets and Evolutional AI and Web Applications
Computing AI and Education
Reasoning under Uncertainty AI in Games
Data Mining AI and Manufacturing
Robotics
Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee members and judged
according to their originality, technical merit and clarity of presentation.
Papers will be accepted according to two categories: full papers or poster
papers (with less number of pages allotted in the proceedings). All accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings as Lecture Notes in
Artificial Intelligence by Springer-Verlag. A best paper will be awarded at
the conference.
