                              Call for Papers
                              +++++++++++++++

       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original and unpublished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.

the paper should be
   given only on a separate cover sheet. Authors
should also exercise
   care to see that there aue no indirect clues to the
identity of the
   author or the institution (e.g. self-citations
reading 'in our earlier
   work cited below' ... etc)

       Submissions should be in electronic form and
can be in any of the
   following formats: PDF, Latex or Microsoft Word
(RTF format). Papers
   may be submitted by E-mail or via the web at the

be published in the
   proceedings.


   Call for Tutorials:
   -------------------
       Proposals are invited for conference tutorials.
Tutorials can be of
   half-day or full-day duration. The proposal should
