SYMPOSIUM TOPICS

Papers describing applied research and deployed applications that
include some aspects of Artificial Intelligence technology are
particularly sought. Topics of the symposium include all areas of AI
application development, project management, systems evaluation and
deployment. Papers for this symposium can address any of the following
combination of issues:

      Discussions of applications with performance evaluation data

      Ongoing efforts to develop large-scale or domain-specific
      knowledge bases or ontologies

      Development of domain or task focused tools, techniques, or methods

      Evaluations of AI tools, techniques or methods for domain
      suitability

      Unsuccessful attempts to apply particular tools, techniques or
      methods to specific domains (which provide insights into the
      applicability and limitations of the tool, technique or method)

      System architectures that work

      Scalability of techniques

      Integration of AI with other technologies

      System and software engineering of intelligent systems

      Development methodologies

      Validation and Verification

      Lessons learned

      Social and other technology transition issues

      Successful or Failed Project Management Methodology, Tools and
      Techniques

      Successful or Failed Knowledge Acquisition and Modelling Efforts

We are particularly interested in the integration issues, and
specifically interested in why certain applications fail to be
deployed.

IMPORTANT DATES FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS

      15 June 2000 Submission deadline for papers
      15 July 2000 Paper notification deadline
      31 July 2000 Camera-ready paper deadline

PAPER SUBMISSION

Two category of papers will be accepted. They are:

    1. Short Papers - based on work in progress.

    2. Long Papers - based on deployed systems (include failed systems
       that was not deployed).

Short papers should be no longer then 7 pages, and the long papers
should be no longer than 15 pages including all tables, figures, and
references.

Electronic submission of Microsoft Word or PDF documents are
encouraged as email attachments sent to aiapps at act.cmis.csiro.au.  The
format should be for A4 paper with a Times Roman font set at 12pt with
1.5 line spacing. Text should have a 2.5cm (1 inch) margin on all
sides. The email should also include a clear text version of the
title, authors and abstract.

All papers should be sent electronically to aiapps at act.cmis.csiro.au

If you have any queries please contact Dickson Lukose or Graham
Williams. All correspondance regarding this symposium should be
emailed to aiapps at act.cmis.csiro.au

Multiple submission policy for papers:

Papers that are being submitted to other conferences, whether verbatim
or in essence, must reflect this fact on the title page. If a paper is
accepted at another conference (with the exception of specialised
workshops), it must be withdrawn from the symposium.  Papers that do
not meet these requirements are subject to rejection without review.

PAPER REVIEW POLICY

The same high standards set by PRICAI will be followed in reviewing
papers submitted to this symposium. All submissions will be reviewed
on the basis of relevance, originality, significance, soundness and
clarity. Three referees will review each submission to ensure a high
standard of quality with the appropriate focus on applications.

PUBLICATIONS

The proceedings will be formally published (ISBN) and distributed to
all PRICAI-2000 attendees and, concurrently, formally published
on-line through the AI Applications Symposium home page.
