EPIA'95 - CALL FOR PAPERS
SEVENTH PORTUGUESE CONFERENCE
ON
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
October 3-6, 1995
(Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI)
The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(EPIA'95) will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal,
on October 3-6, 1995. As in previous issues ('89, '91, and
'93), EPIA'95 will be run as an international conference,
English being the official language. The scientific program
encompasses tutorials, invited lectures, demonstrations, and
paper presentations. Five well known researchers will present
invited lectures. The conference is devoted to all areas of
Artificial Intelligence and will cover both theoretical and
foundational issues and applications as well. Parallel
workshops on Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and Neural
Networks, and Applications of A.I. to Robotics and Vision
Systems will run simultaneously (see below).
INVITED LECTURERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following researchers have already confirmed their
participation, as guest speakers:
Marvin Minsky, MIT (USA)
Manuela Veloso, CMU (USA)
Luis Borges de Almeida, IST (Portugal)
Rodney Brooks, MIT (USA)
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors must submit five (5) complete printed copies of their
papers to the "EPIA'95 submission address". Fax or electronic
submissions will not be accepted. Submissions must be printed
on A4 or 8 1/2"x11" paper using 12 point type. Each page must
have a maximum of 38 lines and an average of 75 characters
per line (corresponding to the LaTeX article-style, 12
point). Double-sided printing is strongly encouraged. The
body of submitted papers must be at most 12 pages, including
title, abstract, figures, tables, and diagrams, but excluding
the title page and bibliography.
ELECTRONIC ABSTRACT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to submitting the paper copies, authors should
send to epia95-abstracts at inesc.pt a short (200 words)
electronic abstract of their paper to aid the reviewing
process. The electronic abstract must be in plain ASCII text
(no LaTeX)) in the following format:
TITLE: <title of the paper>
FIRST AUTHOR: <last name, first name>
EMAIL: <email of the first author>
FIRST ADDRESS: <first author address>
COAUTHORS: <their names, if any>
KEYWORDS: <keywords separated by commas>
ABSTRACT: <text of the abstract>
Authors are requested to select 1-3 appropriate keywords from
the list below. Authors are welcome to add additional
keywords descriptors as needed. Applications, agent-oriented
programming, automated reasoning, belief revision, case-based
reasoning, common sense reasoning, constraint satisfaction,
distributed AI, expert systems, genetic algorithms, knowledge
representation, logic programming, machine learning, natural
language understanding, nonmonotonic reasoning, planning,
qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, robotics, spatial
reasoning, theorem proving, theory of computation, tutoring
systems.
REVIEW OF PAPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Submissions will be judged on significance, originality,
quality and clarity. Reviewing will be blind to the
identities of the authors. This requires that authors
exercise some care not to identify themselves in their
papers. Each copy of the paper must have a title page,
separated from the body of the paper, including the title of
the paper, the names and addresses of all authors, a list of
content areas (see above) and any acknowledgments. The second
page should include the same title, a short abstract of less
than 200 words, and the exact same contents areas, but not
the names nor affiliations of the authors. This page may
include text of the paper. The references should include all
published literature relevant to the paper, including
previous works of the authors, but should not include
unpublished works of the authors. When referring to one's own
work, use the third person. For example, say "previously,
Peter [17] has shown that ...". Try to avoid including any
information in the body of the paper or references that would
identify the authors or their institutions. Such information
can be added to the final camera-ready version for
publication. Please do not staple the title page to the body
of the paper. Submitted papers must be unpublished.
PUBLICATION
~~~~~~~~~~~
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag (lecture
notes in A.I. series). Authors will be required to transfer
copyright of their paper to Springer-Verlag.
ASSOCIATED WORKSHOPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the framework of the conference three workshops will be
organized: Applications of Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic and
Neural Networks in Engineering, and Applications of
Artificial Intelligence to Robotics and Vision Systems. Real
world applications, running systems, and demos are welcome.
