The organizers solicit participation in this second IJCAI workshop on
spatial and temporal issues in representation and reasoning.  Despite
many obvious differences, techniques applied in both temporal and spatial
aspects of problem domains are often very similar: constraint propagation,
relation algebra, granularity control, and others. Even applications,
such as planning and path finding, are often closely related.
 
Although research on spatial and temporal reasoning had sustained
a steady current in major AI conferences for decades, the past few
years have witnessed a surge of interest in the field, as recent
workshops on the subject testify.
 
Artificial intelligence has been described as composed of models, systems,
and algorithms. Research on representing and reasoning about space and
time has put forward a number of models and systems, with comparatively
few results about the existence, properties, and feasibility of general
methods and algorithms.  The organizers, therefore, feel that time is
now ripe for building on the existing results to make spatio-temporal
research into a field with a systematic body of knowledge, methods,
methodologies, and results.
 
The Workshop on Spatial and Temporal Reasoning focuses on major
problems facing the developers and users of temporal and spatial
models in all areas of AI and in computer science. The organizers seek
to establish a solid space-time bridge among the researchers in
disciplines where spatio-temporal issues are a key concern. Special
attention will be given to three general questions:
 
    1. Commonality and differences between spatial and temporal reasoning.
 
    2. Commonality and differences between temporal models across
       applications. Likewise for spatial models.
 
    3. Comparison of model logics, axiomatic systems, cognitive models,
       and other approaches to modelling space and time.
 
Papers should represent current results, survey the interactions between
two or more areas of spatial and temporal research, or take a position
on proposed research directions that can have significant impact on one
or more of the relevant fields. Contributions representing an advance
toward the synthesis between spatial and temporal aspects, theoretic
and applied issues and different approaches will be favored.
 
The workshop will also provide an opportunity for discussing the
following topics:
 
    1. Issues of REPRESENTATION of temporal and spatial knowledge.
 
    2. Techniques for AUTOMATED REASONING about time and space,
       including combinations of temporal and spatial reasoning into
       one reasoning formalism.
 
    3. ASSIMILATION of temporal and spatial facts into an existing
       knowledge base.
 
    4. INTEGRATION of different kinds of temporal and spatial knowledge
       (qualitative and quantitative, propositional and depictional, etc.)
 
    5. APPLICATIONS of temporal and spatial reasoning to concurrent
       and distributed systems, planning, databases, robotics, neural
       networks, language understanding, sequencing and scheduling.
 
    6. Issues of COMPLEXITY and FEASIBILITY in spatial and temporal
       reasoning.
 
WORKSHOP FORMAT: The opportunity for interaction and exchange among the
       participants will be maximized.  Using a varied format of invited
       presentations, keynote address, panel, and open discussion,
       participants are expected to become involved in the discussion,
       potentially leading to new insights about the interfaces between
       space and time, AI and Systems, and other related domains.
 
ATTENDANCE: Around 40 participants will be selected to attend the workshop,
       contributing and participating in discussions.  Accepted papers
       will be included in the Workshop Working Notes to be distributed
       by IJCAI.  Publication of a book based on the working notes is
       intended.  Participants are advised that they MUST REGISTER
       FOR THE IJCAI CONFERENCE and pay the corresponding fees as well
       as a US$50 workshop fee.
 
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Electronic submissions are solicited in Tex,
       Latex, or PostScript format.  The papers, starting with title,
       authors' names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email
       addresses, followed by keywords, and concluding with relevant
       bibliographic references, should fit on 4 to 10 single-spaced
       typewritten 8.5 x 11 inch pages, in the form of an extended
       abstract or complete research, survey, or position paper.
       Selection of participants will be based on relevance to the
       indicated focus of the workshop, clarity of the work submitted,
       and the strength of the research.
