    AIM AND SCOPE

    Recent years have resulted in several exciting developments in the
    field of AI. High on the list is the emergence of implemented effective
    AI systems. The organizers strongly believe that the area of AI will be
    further advanced if implemented systems receive appropriate exposure,
    implementation and testing methodologies are discussed by the community,
    and if the performance and scope of applicability are presented and
    compared. In this way, theoretical research in AI will receive important
    feedback about its relevance and practicality, system implementers will
    learn about competing solutions and their performance, and AI experts
    working on practical applications will get software tools they need.

    To further promote this research, as part of the technical program of
    JELIA'02 we plan a special session devoted to presentations and
    demonstrations of implementations for solving or addressing problems of
    importance to all areas in the scope of JELIA'02 and, in particular, to:

          Logic-based AI
          Knowledge Representation
          Learning
          Data Mining
          Multiagent Systems
          Reasoning under Uncertainty

    Submissions to this special session should provide a description of such
    a system and information on the class of problems (or application area)
    it is designed for, theoretical background, major features, implementation
    techniques, and testing methodology and experimental evaluation.

    Accepted system descriptions will be published in the conference
    proceedings (4 page length limit).

    All systems whose descriptions will be accepted for publication in the
    conference proceedings, will be demonstrated at a special session at the
    conference. The authors should indicate as part of their submission if
    any special computing support will be necessary.

    SUBMISSION DETAILS

    The authors should submit a system description in Postscript format to the
    organizers of the systems session at <jelia02-systems@dbai.tuwien.ac.at> by
    May 21, 2002.

    The system description must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNAI
    authors' instructions and cannot exceed 4 pages (all included). Instructions
    by Springer can be found at <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>.

    *****************************************************************************
    IMPORTANT DATES

    Submission deadline (strict) May 21, 2002
    Acceptance/rejection notification June 4, 2002
    Final version due June 25, 2002

    BENCHMARK SETS

    An important issue for development of effective AI systems is that of
    benchmarks. Benchmark problems allow us to compare key features of AI
    systems: the range of their applicability and their performance.
    Therefore, we invite you to submit statements of problems for possible
    inclusion in benchmark sets. These benchmark sets will be distributed
    to all participants of the systems session.

    Proposals for benchmarks should be submitted by e-mail by May 28, to the
    systems session organizers at <jelia02-systems@dbai.tuwien.ac.at>.

    BRIEF INFO ABOUT JELIA and JELIA'02

    The European Conference on Logics in AI provides a major biennial forum for
    the discussion of logic-oriented approaches to artificial intelligence. It
    aims to bring together active researchers interested in all aspects concerning
    the use of logics in artificial intelligence to discuss current research,
    results, and problems and applications of both a theoretical and practical
    nature. Moreover, Jelia strives to foster links and facilitate cross-
    fertilisation of ideas among researchers from various disciplines; among
    researchers from academia, industry and government; and between theoreticians
    and practitioners.

    JELIA'02 will be held at the University of Calabria (Rende), in the area
    of Cosenza, southern Italy.
