The ACAI-99 Programme Committee is pleased to announce a special programme of
student presentations to be held in two or more student sessions. The call is
open to students who are currently enrolled for a post-graduate degree.
The aim is to give the opportunity to post-graduate students to present their
ongoing work to the invited lecturers, experienced researchers and other
students, by submitting a short (2-page) paper. The short paper should report
on current results of their ongoing research. In addition note that:
* All accepted papers will be included in a Student Sessions Proceedings.
* A Best Paper Award will be offered by the ACAI-99 Programme Committee.

** The submission process **
Submissions are invited in all aspects of Machine Learning. Theoretical papers
should clearly state the contributions to specific issues of Machine Learning
and why they are important. Application oriented papers should state why
Machine Learning methods are necessary and how they are applied to solve
particular problems. Comparison results are also welcome.
To facilitate the reviewing process and to make possible their inclusion of
accepted papers in the Proceedings, all submissions must be in a camera-ready
form. The camera-ready short papers must be typed in single-column, Times
10pt, left and right justified, using A4 paper size and 2.5 cm margins all
