                       JELIA'02: Call for System Presentations
               http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/~pfeifer/jelia02-systems/

                           Deadline extended to May 29th!

    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.

    Co-Chairs

       Gerald Pfeifer <pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at>
       Mirek Truszczynski <mirek@cs.uky.edu>

    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 29, 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 May 29, 2002
       Acceptance/rejection notification June 6, 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 29, to
       the systems session organizers at <jelia02-systems@dbai.tuwien.ac.at>.

    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.
