\maketitle

The Second International Workshop on  Parallel Processing for Artificial
Intelligence will be held in Chambery, France in conjunction with IJCAI-93.


In recent years we have seen the emergence of  parallel machines.
In spite of the wide acceptance of parallel processing as a major technology
for modern computing, only a few AI applications have been successfully
implemented on parallel machines.

The intent of this  workshop is to bring together hardware architects, AI
researchers, and application engineers who are engaged in or interested in
parallel artificial intelligence. Through key presentations and ample
discussions,  it is hoped that  the workshop will facilitate the  exchange
of ideas among researchers and contributes to bridging the gap between hardware
architects and AI researchers. The granularity of parallelism  discussed at
the workshop will range from coarse-grain to fine-grain parallel processing.\\

The program committee invites submission of high quality contributions on
parallelism in AI.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

\begin{itemize}
\item Parallel Algorithms for AI\\
      Parallel Search, Problem Solving, Planning, Constraint-directed
      Reasoning, Decision Making, Natural Language Processing, Vision, etc.
\item Parallel Inference Systems\\
      Parallel Deduction, Automated Theorem Proving, Concurrent Logic
      Languages, Implementations, Performance Evaluations, etc.
\item Massive Parallelism for AI\\
      Massively Parallel Machines (Architecture, Benchmarks, etc.), Spreading
      Activation, Connectionism, Bulk Data Processing, etc.
\end{itemize}

Please submit two (2) copies of a detailed abstract (approx.\ 1500 words) or a
full paper (limited to 5000 words) to \underline{each} of the three workshop 
chairmen listed below (i.e., a total of six copies) by March 15, 1993. 
Please send, if possible, e-mail versions of your paper to the chairmen as 
well.
All submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop committee.
It is our intent to publish a workshop proceedings to be made available at the
workshop.

\newpage

\begin{itemize}
\item Papers due: March 15, 1993
\item Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 1993
\item Camera-ready version due: May 15, 1993
\end{itemize}

For participation, each attendee must have registered for the main
conference and needs to pay an additional 300 F (approx.\ 60US\$) for
the workshop.
