CALL FOR PAPERS
Pragmatics in Artificial Intelligence
5th Rocky Mountain Conference on Artificial Intelligence (RMCAI-90)
Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA, June 28-30, 1990
PRAGMATICS PROBLEM:
The problem of pragmatics in AI is one of developing theories, models,
and implementations of systems that make effective use of contextual
information to solve problems in changing environments.
CONFERENCE GOAL:
This conference will provide a forum for researchers from all
subfields of AI to discuss the problem of pragmatics in AI.
The implications that each area has for the others in tackling
this problem are of particular interest.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
In cooperation with:
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) (pending approval)
Special Interest Group in Artificial Intelligence (SIGART) (pending approval)
U S WEST Advanced Technologies and the Rocky Mountain Society
for Artificial Intelligence (RMSAI)
With grants from:
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
Special Interest Group in Artificial Intelligence (SIGART)
U S WEST Advanced Technologies and the Rocky Mountain Society
for Artificial Intelligence (RMSAI)
THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT:
Las Cruces, lies in THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT (New Mexico),
USA and is situated in the Rio Grande Corridor with the scenic
Organ Mountains overlooking the city. The city is
close to Mexico, Carlsbad Caverns, and White Sands National Monument.
There are a number of Indian Reservations and Pueblos in the Land Of
Enchantment and the cultural and scenic cities of Taos and Santa Fe
lie to the north. New Mexico has an interesting mixture of Indian, Mexican
and Spanish culture. There is quite a variation of Mexican and New
Mexican food to be found here too.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Rocky Mountain Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a
major regional forum in the USA for scientific exchange and presentation
of AI research.
The conference emphasizes discussion and informal interaction
as well as presentations.
The conference encourages the presentation of completed research,
ongoing research, and preliminary investigations.
Researchers from both within and outside the region
are invited to participate.
Some travel awards will be available for qualified applicants.
FORMAT FOR PAPERS:
Submitted papers should be double spaced and no more than 5 pages
long. E-mail versions will not be accepted.
