Call for Abstracts:
EWRL-4, Fourth European Workshop on Reinforcement Learning
Lugano, Switzerland, October 29-30, 1999


(We apologize for duplicates of this email)


Reinforcement learning (RL) is a growing research area. To build a
European RL community and give visibility to the current situation on
the old continent, we are running a now biennal series of workshops.
EWRL-1 took place in Brussels, Belgium (1994), EWRL-2 in Milano, Italy
(1995), EWRL-3 in Rennes, France (1997).  EWRL-4 will take place in
Lugano, Switzerland (1999).  The first morning will feature a plenary talk
by Dario Floreano.  The rest of the two-day workshop will be dedicated to
presentations given by selected participants.  Presentation length will
be determined once we have some feedback on the number of participants.

The number of participants will be limited.  Access will be restricted
to active RL researchers and their students.  Please communicate as soon
as possible, and in any case before end of July 1999, your intention
to participate by means of the intention form attached below (e-mail
