    The seventh biennial Bar-Ilan International Symposium on the Foundations of
    Artificial Intelligence, will be held on June 25-27, 2001 in Ramat Gan, Israel.
    The meeting will honor the research and accomplishments of Yaacov Choueka and
    will therefore place special emphasis on natural language processing and
    computational linguistics.

    Invited Speakers:

         Yaacov Choueka
         Jieh Hsiang
         Daphne Koller
         Richard Korf
         Doug Lenat
         Moshe Vardi

    We solicit papers on substantial research in all areas of Artificial
    Intelligence, including, but not limited to the following:

                   foundations natural language processing
            searching knowledge representation
            automated reasoning computational linguistics
            planning information retrieval
            machine learning temporal reasoning
            robotics knowledge-based systems
                   data mining AI algorithms
            intelligent agents probabilistic reasoning

    Submission Guidelines: Extended abstracts should be 6-12 pages in length,
    including references and figures. Submissions should be made electronically,
    as attachments in Postscript or PDF format. Click at the website to submit.
    The official proceedings will be web-based and made available at the BISFAI
    website.

    System Demonstrations: We also solicit proposals for demonstrations of
    innovative applications of artificialintelligence, of length 1-2 pages.
    Click at the website to submit.

    Special Issue: Selected papers will be reviewed for journal publication
    in Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.

    Multiple Submissions: Papers may be submitted to BISFAI even if submitted to
    other conferences or journals, because the BISFAI website is not archival.
    Of course, if a paper is accepted at an archival conference such as AAAI or
    IJCAI and also presented at BISFAI, this paper must be substantially revised
    and/or extended for consideration for journal publication.
    Previously presented or published papers are unacceptable.
     
    The BISFAI-01 program and schedule will be available online. Abstracts of
    invited and accepted papers will be made available on the abstracts page,
    with pointers to online versions of the paper, when available
    at the BISFAI website: www.cs.biu.ac.il/~bisfai

    Important Dates:
            March 2, 2001 Paper submission deadline
            April 22, 2001 Notification of acceptance
            May 25, 2001 Revised versions due
            June 25-27, 2001 BISFAI conference
