------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PRICAI 2002 Conference Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program of the Sixth Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (PRICAI 2002). Workshops will be held at the beginning of the
conference, on August 18 - August 19, 2002 .
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to meet each other and
discuss issues with a selected focus -- providing an informal setting for
active exchange among researchers, developers and users on topics of
interest.
Submissions are welcome in all areas of AI, both theoretical and applied,
for PRICAI 2002. Suggested topics for workshops include, but are not limited
to, the following:
* Agent architectures and languages
* AI for internet applications
* AI in business
* AI in education and computer-assisted learning environments
* Computational Learning Theory
* Hybrid reasoning systems
* Innovative applications of AI technology
* Intelligent document processing and analysis
* Intelligent multimedia
* Intelligent user interface
* Knowledge discovery and data mining
* Knowledge acquisition and machine learning
* Logical foundations for intelligent systems
* Multi-lingual natural language processing
* Networked entertainment and games,
* Practical planning, scheduling, and learning methods
* Programming and Reasoning with Constraints
* Robotics and Vision
* Theory and Practice of Soft computing
To encourage interaction and exchange of ideas, the workshops will be kept
small, with 25-40 participants. Attendance is limited to active participants
only. The format of the workshop presentations will be determined by the
organizers. Organizers are encouraged to leave ample time for general
discussion. Workshops will typically be one full day in length,
although half-day, or up to two-day proposals will be considered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposal Content
Proposals for workshops should be about 2 pages in length, and should
contain:
* A description of the workshop. Identify the specific issues on which
the workshop will focus.
* A brief discussion of why the workshop is of particular interest at
this time.
* The names and addresses of the organizing committee; 3 to 4 people
knowledgeable in the field. Strong proposals include organizers who
bring differing perspectives to the workshop topic.
* An indication as to whether the workshop should be considered for a
half-day, one or two-day meeting.
We welcome proposals that explore the frontiers of AI research as well as
novel application domains. Submissions that link AI technology to specific
problems in the Pacific Rim are particularly encouraged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions
Workshop proposals should be submitted as soon as possible but no later than
February 11, 2002. Organizers will be notified of the committee's decision
by March 1, 2002. Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
* Producing and distributing a call for participation.
* Selecting participants. Workshop attendance is by invitation of the
organizers. Selection of attendees will be made by the organizers on
the basis of submissions. Workshop organizers will need to provide
PRICAI with a list of the participants by July 29, 2002.
* Coordinating the production and distribution of the workshop notes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scheduling the Workshop Activities
PRICAI will provide logistic support, and schedule the meeting dates, times,
and places for the workshops. Workshop organizers will be advised of the
registration fees, which should be included in their call for
participation. PRICAI reserves the right to drop any workshop if there is
insufficient interest. Workshops are not to be used as a vehicle for
marketing products.
