Of particular relevance to this track are papers on issues that arise in the design and construction of complex artificial intelligent agents, integrating such component technologies as planning and scheduling; knowledge representation and reasoning; language, dialogue, perception; goal-driven action; machine learning; constraints, satisfiability and search; and Web and Knowledge-based Information Systems. This includes, but is not limited to human-level intelligent agents. All available paths are welcome, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies, and we will accept submissions on all subareas of artificial intelligence not covered by the other thematic tracks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Art and Music
- Brain Sciences
- Case-by-case Problem-Solving
- Cognitive architectures
- Coherence of Integrative/Hybrid Systems
- Computer-Aided Education
- Connecting Sensorimotor and Concept-level Cognition Context
- Context
- Evaluation and Comparison of GAI Projects
- Foundations and Theory
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Intelligent Database Systems
- Intelligent user interfaces
- Language Processing based on GAI
- Lifelong and Multi-Strategy Learning

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
