			CALL FOR PAPERS:

		SIXTH CONFERENCE ON UNCERTAINTY IN AI

			  Cambridge, Mass.,
			July 27th-29th, 1990 
		  (preceding the AAAI-90 Conference)

			DEADLINE: MARCH 12, 1990
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The sixth annual Conference on Uncertainty in AI is concerned with the
full gamut of approaches to automated and interactive reasoning and
decision making under uncertainty, including both quantitative and
qualitative methods.

We invite original contributions on fundamental theoretical issues, on
the development of software tools embedding approximate reasoning
theories, and on the validation of such theories and technologies on
challenging applications.  Topics of particular interest include:

- - Semantics of qualitative and quantitative uncertainty representations
- - The role of uncertainty in deductive, abductive, defeasible, or
  analogical (case-based) reasoning
- - Control of reasoning; planning under uncertainty
- - Comparison and integration of qualitative and quantitative schemes
- - Knowledge engineering tools and techniques for building approximate
  reasoning systems
- - User Interface: explanation and summarization of uncertain infromation
- - Applications of approximate reasoning techniques

Papers will be carefully refereed.  All accepted papers will be
included in the proceedings, which will be available at the
conference. Papers may be accepted for presentation in plenary
sessions or poster sessions.

Four copies of each paper should be sent to the Program Chair by March
12, 1990.  Acceptance will be sent by  May 4, 1990.  Final
camera-ready papers, incorporating reviewers' comments, will be due by
May 31, 1990.  There will be an eight page limit on the camera-ready
copy (with a few extra pages available for a nominal fee.)
