----------
The Ninth Edition of AIMSA is focussed on Web processing, in particular:
Knowledge construction from the Web, Agents and communication languages,
Web-based documents and interfaces, Distance learning and electronic
commerce.
The conjectures to be debated at the AIMSA 2000 Conference are two:
* For each of the problems that Web processing poses in order to be
effective, some AI Method, System or Application may be used.
* The availability of the Web offers challenging opportunities to
developments in Artificial Intelligence.
The AIMSA'2000 topics of interest also include: Knowledge
Representation, Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Based Systems, Machine
Learning, Data Mining, Natural Language Processing, Reasoning Systems,
Distributed AI, Robotics, Theoretical and Philosophical Foundations, AI
Applications. This is not an exhaustive list, and papers from other AI
areas are also encouraged.
