AI*IA 93
Third Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence 

Turin, 26-28 October 1993

CALL FOR PAPERS 


The Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence is aimed
at offering an occasion of meeting and discussion to people interested in AI,
both at the methodological and the applicative level.
The Congress, which will host internationally known invited speakers and 
panels on a range of topics, will be organized around two distinct tracks:
Scientific track  and Application track

The partition into these two tracks shall make clear the distinction between
consolidated techniques and frontier research problems, outlining also future 
trends. Potential users will then have the possibility of evaluating the
current state of the art and the potentiality of the discipline as a tool for
helping to solve their own problems.


SCIENTIFIC TRACK

Submissions are invited on original and previously unpublished research in all
aspects of AI, including, but not limited to:
Automated Reasoning 	
Knowledge Representation
Architectures, Languages and Tools for AI	
Knowledge Engineering
Machine Learning	
Natural Language	
Planning	
Qualitative Reasoning	
Distributed Artificial Intelligence	
Intelligent Interfaces 	
Robotics 	
Perception and Vision	
Cognitive Modeling	
Connectionist Models for AI

Paper Submission Information

Papers submitted in the scientific track can be either long papers (completed
research, maximun 5000 words) or short papers (ongoing research, maximum 
2500 words).  All papers will be stringently reviewed by at least two referees
in order to assess originality, relevance and quality of presentation.
Submitted papers should not be accepted for publication in any journal or
other congress (apart from strongly specialized workshops with limited 
audience).
The first page shall contain the title of the paper, the name, affiliation and
mailing address of each author, an abstract of no more than 200 words and 
the specific field addressed by the paper.
As the accepted papers (both long and short) will be published in a volume 
of the Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence  (Springer Verlag), all
papers must be written in English. Long papers will be granted an oral 
presentation, whereas short papers will be discussed in a poster-session.

Deadlines

Submitted papers must be sent to the Program Chairman, in five copies,
before March 26th, 1993.
Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection before June 11th, 1993.
The final, camera-ready version of the accepted papers must 
arrive no later than July 5th, 1993.

APPLICATION TRACK

The main aim of this track is to present significant AI applications developed
or deployed in Italy, in order to show the potentialities and the effective 
use of AI methodologies. 
By applications, we mean systems that have overcome the prototype phase
and have been tested in field for some time. Systems are not intended to be
only Expert Systems, but any hardware/software system (man-machine interfaces,
vision and perception systems, decision support systems, etc.) which uses AI
technologies.

Submission are invited for any application field with particular emphasis on:
- - Design
- - Manufacturing
- - Control, Monitoring, Diagnosis
- - Autonomous systems and robots
- - Financial services
- - Management
- - Public administration
- - Education, Training

Paper Submission Information

Papers submitted in the APPLICATION track should not exceed 10 pages (single 
spaced, including figures) and can be written either in Italian or English.
The first page shall contain the title of the paper, the name, affiliation 
and mailing address of each author, an abstract of no more than 200 words
and the specific field addressed by the paper.
Accepted papers will be collected in a volume published directly by the AI*IA 
and will be orally presented in the application track, possibly with the help 
of video-tapes.
In order to ensure a reasonable uniformity in application papers, each
submitted paper should discuus the following issues;
- - Problem description, with special attention to the motivations underlying 
the choice of AI methodologies.
- - Application description, with special attention to the design and
implementation techniques, the choices of the representation formalisms 
and reasoning mechanisms.
- - Description of the system use: who is the user, how long the system has
been used in field, results, impact on the organization.

Deadlines
Submitted papers for the application track must be sent to the Program
Chairman, in five copies, before March 26th, 1993.
Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection before June 11th, 1993.
The final, camera-ready version of the accepted papers must arrive no later
than July 5th, 1993.

NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO SIMULTANEUS TRANSLATION BETWEEN ELCHISH AND ITALIAN
DURING AI*AI93
