                    University of Leeds, UK
                       16-19 April, 1991

The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of
Behaviour (SSAISB) will hold its eighth biennial conference at

will be a Tutorial Programme on 16 April followed by the full Technical
Programme. The Programme Chair will be Luc Steels (AI Lab, Vrije Universiteit
Brussel).

Papers are sought in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of
Behaviour, but especially on the following AISB91 special themes:

  * Emergent functionality in autonomous agents
  * Neural networks and self-organisation
  * Constraint logic programming
  * Knowledge level expert systems research

Papers may describe theoretical or practical work but should make a
significant and original contribution to knowledge about the field of
Artificial Intelligence. 

A prize of 500 pounds for the best paper has been offered by British
Telecom Computing (Advanced Technology Group). It is expected 
that the proceedings will be published as a book.

Submission:
