                                  +++++++++++++++
                                          
           The KBCS series of conferences, held every two years, is
    intended to act as a forum for promoting interaction among researchers
    in the field of Artificial Intelligence in India and abroad. The
    schedule includes a three-day conference on KBCS from Dec 19-21, and
    one day of tutorials, on the 18th. Papers are invited on substantial,
    original and unpublished research on all aspects of Artificial
    Intelligence, including, but not limited to those given below.
       
          This year, ICON-2002, International Conference on Natural
    Language Processing, will be held concurrently with KBCS-2002. Authors
    may, therefore, choose to submit papers focusing on Natural Language
    Processing (NLP) to ICON-2002. KBCS-2002 will also consider NLP papers
    provided they have substantial AI content. The programme committee may
    shift some papers between these two conferences based on content and
    suitability.
