CALL FOR PAPERS
http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/ecai98/call.html
Submissions are invited on substantial, 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unpublished research in all aspects of AI, including, but not limited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.
Formatting guidelines
Submissions must not exceed 6000 words. Submissions which exceed this
length will be rejected without review. This is the only strict
formatting requirement for paper submissions. (But note that a five
page limit will be imposed on the final camera-ready papers - for some
papers this may be considerably less than 6000 words in practice.)
Additional guidelines on the format of submissions are available on
the ECAI-98 Style Guide page. We hope to make available soon a latex
style file supporting these guidelines.
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. Authors are asked to submit a brief
summary of their paper by email to ecai98 at irit.fr by 20 January
1998. This summary should include the title, authors, 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. Six 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 deadline for
receipt of papers is 23 January 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 specialized 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.
The review process
All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by the ECAI-98
Programme 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.
Conference proceedings
The conference proceedings will be published and distributed by John
Wiley and Sons Ltd. The authors will be responsible for producing
camera-ready copies of papers, conforming to the formatting guidelines
specified by the publisher, for inclusion in the proceedings. The
deadline for receipt of camara-ready copy is 15 May 1998. Note that at
least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the
conference to present the paper.
