PS). Word and WordPerfect format files and LaTeX style files will be
available for download after March 15, 1998.

Proposals should not exceed 10 pages for lectures, and 5 pages for
workshops. Poster contributions will be published as short papers

Demonstrations should be briefly described; the equipment needed
should be specified.

All proposals should contain German and English abstracts of 12 lines
max.

Conference languages are German and English.

All proposals are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers

The ECAI-98 Programme Committee is pleased to announce a special
programme of short papers for young researchers.


                               IMPORTANT DATES
                      --------------------------------
                6 Mar 1998        Deadline for abstracts

            26-28 Aug 1998        Student programme at ECAI-98


The aim is to encourage younger AI researchers to attend ECAI-98 and
to present their on-going work, in the form of short (2 page) papers,
which will appear in the conference proceedings. A short paper may
either report on the innovative points of work in progress, or on a
particular result of special interest.

The call is open to researchers who satisfy at least one of the
following criteria on 11 March 1998:

    -   they are under 28 years old
    -   they are currently studying for a PhD or other degree
        qualification in AI (or a related topic)
    -   they received a PhD in AI (or a related topic) within the past
        two years.

Submissions are invited on original and previously unpublished
research in all aspects of AI, including, but not limited to:

Abduction, Temporal, Causal Reasoning, and Diagnosis; Automated
Reasoning; Application and Enabling Technologies; Belief Revision and
Nonmonotonic Reasoning; Case-Based Reasoning; Cognitive Modelling and
Philosophical Foundations; Computational Linguistics; Constraint-Based
Reasoning and Constraint Programming; Distributed AI and Multiagent
Systems; Fuzzy Logic; Knowledge Acquisition; Knowledge Representation;
Logic Programming, and Theorem Proving; Machine Learning, Knowledge
Discovery and Data Mining; Natural Language and Intelligent User
Interfaces; Neural Networks in AI; Planning, Scheduling, and Reasoning
about Actions; Probabilistic Networks; Qualitative Preferences and
Decision in AI; Qualitative and Spatial Reasoning; Reasoning under
Uncertainty; Robotics, Vision, and Signal Understanding; Search and
Meta-Heuristics for AI; Verification, Validation and Testing of
Knowledge-Based Systems.

Submissions should be two pages long using the format described on the
ECAI-98 Style Guide web page:

        http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/ecai98/style.html

A latex style file is available on the website (or on request. to
ecai98 at cogs.susx.ac.uk). Accepted papers will be required to conform
more strictly to the publishers' formatting requirements, which will
be broadly in line with the present formatting guidelines.


Submission procedure

Submission is a two stage process, similar to the process for long
papers. An electronic abstract should be sent to ecai98 at irit.fr by 6
March 1998. This summary should include the title, author, contact
address and abstract for the paper, plus keywords drawn from the above
list (plus other keywords if appropriate). A web-based summary
submission form is available to make this easier. This summary
information should also be included with the paper itself, on a
separate sheet of paper.

Submission of the paper is in hard copy form only, electronic
submissions will not be accepted. Four copies of the paper (each
including the summary sheet), should be sent by post to the ECAI-98
Programme Chair, Henri Prade, at the address below. The title page
should include a statement indicating which of the above eligibility
criteria the author satisfies and that the paper has not been
submitted elsewhere. The deadline for receipt of papers is 11 March
1998. Papers received after this date will not be reviewed.

Multiple submissions policy

ECAI-98 will not accept any paper which at the time of submission is
under review for, or has already been published or accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also
expected not to submit their papers elsewhere during the review
period. These restrictions apply only to journals and conferences and
not to workshops or similar specialised meetings with limited
audiences. The title page should include a statement that the paper is
not under review or accepted for publication in another conference or
journal.

However, if a young researcher has already submitted a regular paper
to ECAI-98, a new submission on the same topic in the form of a short
paper is permitted provided that the author declares it on submission.
If the regular paper is accepted, the short paper will be considered
to have been withdrawn. However such a double submission is not
encouraged.

The review process

The short papers will be reviewed under the control of the ECAI-98
Program Committee under the chairmanship of the ECAI-98 Programme
Chair.  The ECAI-98 Programme Chair has final authority over the
review process and all decisions relating to acceptance of papers.

Accepted papers will be allocated 15 minutes for oral presentation and
2 pages in the official ECAI-98 proceedings.

Note: as is usual at ECAI conferences, students will be able to
register for the conference at a significantly reduced and subsidised
rate.
