10th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 92)
August 3-7, 1992, Vienna, Austria
Programme Chairperson
Bernd Neumann, University of Hamburg, Germany
Local Arrangements Chairperson
Werner Horn, Austrian Research Institute for AI, Vienna
The European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is the
European forum for scientific exchange and presentation of AI research.
The aim of the conference is to cover all aspects of AI research and to
bring together basic research and applied research. The Technical
Programme will include paper presentations, invited talks, survey
sessions, workshops, and tutorials. The conference is designed to
cover all subfields of AI, including non-symbolic methods.
ECAIs are held in alternate years and are organized by the European
Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI). The 10th
ECAI in 1992 will be hosted by the Austrian Society for Artificial
Intelligence (OGAI). The conference will take place at the Vienna
University of Economics and Business Administration.

============================ WORKSHOPS =================================
Workshops are part of the ECAI92 scientific programme. They will give
participants the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in a
small, informal environment, which encourages interaction and exchange
of ideas. Persons interested in attending a workshop should contact the
workshop organizer (addresses below), and the conference office (ADV)
for ECAI92 registration. Note that all workshops require an early
application for participation.
A full description of all workshops can be obtained by sending an email
to ecai92.ws at ai.univie.ac.at, which will automatically respond.
