ICML-98: Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
-------------------------------------------------

The Fifteenth International Conference on Machine Learning 
(ICML-98) will be held at the University of Wisconsin, 
Madison USA from July 24 to July 26, 1998.  ICML-98 will be 
co-located with the Eleventh Annual Conference on
Computational Learning Theory (COLT-98) and the Fourteenth 
Annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence 
(UAI-98).  Seven additional AI conferences, including the 
Fifteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence 
(AAAI-98), will also be held in Madison next summer (see
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/icml98/ for a complete list).

Since ICML is being co-located with AAAI, there will NOT be 
a separate ICML workshop and tutorial program in 1998.
Instead, people interested in submitting ML-related workshop
or tutorial proposals should submit to the corresponding 
AAAI program.

Members of the ML community are serving as AAAI workshop and
tutorial co-chairs, and they are aware of the plan to have
joint AAAI/ICML workshops and tutorials.  Joint AAAI/ICML
workshops and tutorials will be scheduled for Monday, July 27, 
1998, the day between the ICML and AAAI technical programs.
(AAAI has agreed to allow ICML attendees to attend AAAI
workshops andtutorials without requiring attendance at AAAI.)

Please note that the deadlines for these programs are near.
October 31, 1997 is the deadline for AAAI workshop proposals,
while November 14, 1997 is the deadline for AAAI tutorial
proposals.

For those who like to plan far ahead, the deadline for ICML
technical-paper submissions will be March 2, 1998.  A
preliminary call for papers, as well as additional conference
information including copies of the AAAI calls for
tutorial and workshop proposals, is available at:
