    =============================
          The 2002 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
          (IC-AI'02)
    June 24 - 27, 2002
    Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

    The 2002 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence will be held in
    Las Vegas, Nevada, June 24 -27, 2002.

    SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
          Prospective authors are invited to submit three copies of their draft
    paper (about 5 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to H. R. Arabnia
    (address is given below) by the due date. E-mail and Fax submissions are
    also acceptable. The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
    limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously
    published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
          The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper,
    name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax
    number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the
    author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of
    5 keywords.

    PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
          Each technical session will have at least 6 paper presentations. The
    session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions;
    including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ... The names of
    session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference
    proceedings. After the conference, some sessions will be considered for
    publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the session
    proposer as the Guest Editor of the journal.
          Proposals to organize technical sessions should include the following
    information: name and address (+ E-mail) of proposer, title of session, a
    100-word description of the topic of the session, and a short
    description on how the session will be advertised (in most cases, session
    proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known
    to the session proposer). Mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia (address is
    given below); E-mail submissions are preferred.

    EVALUATION PROCESS:
          Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
    soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical
    area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.

    PUBLICATION:
          The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in
    hardcopy. It will be a multivolume set. The proceedings will be available
    at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal
    publication (soon after the conference). (In addition to the hardcopy, it
    is also planned to publish the papers on a CD.) All conference proceedings
    published by CSREA Press are considered for inclusion in major database
    indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature
    of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC,
    ...).

    ORGANIZERS/SPONSORS:
          A number of university faculty members and their staff in cooperation
    with the Monte Carlo Resort (Conference Division, Las Vegas ), will be
    organizing the conference. The conference will be sponsored by World Academy
    of Sciences and co-sponsored by Computer Science Research, Education, &
    Applications Press (CSREA: USA Federal EIN # 58-2171953) together with
    research centers, international associations, international research groups,
