----------------------------------------------------------------------

The UNB Artificial Intelligence Symposium provides a forum for an
exchange of ideas, experiences and information about activities in
artificial intelligence.  Your participation is invited in the form of

(1) a paper to be reviewed (nominally by three reviewers) and, if
accepted, published and presented at the Symposium, or
(2) a half-day tutorial on a suitable AI topic, to be presented at the
Symposium.  All tutorial proposals must have a stated goal, a
detailed outline (2 - 5 pages), target audience defined, and a brief
resume of the tutorial presenter(s), or
(3) an exhibit or display of artificial intelligence technology.

Important Dates:
****************

May 15, 1991 --	Four copies of an extended abstract (2 to 4 double-
spaced pages) or a full paper (max. 11 pages, including figures)
to one of the Program Co-Chairs (see address below).
July 1, 1991 -- 	Notification of acceptance will be mailed.
August 15, 1991 -- 	Final camera-ready copies of papers are due.
