Subject: Bar-Ilan Symposium - Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
Bar-Ilan Symposium on the
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
19-21 June 1989
Sponsored by the Research Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel
Symposium Chair: Martin Golumbic
Organizing Chair: Ariel Frank
Program Committee:
Yaacov Choueka (Bar-Ilan University)
Rina Dechter (Technion)
Ariel Frank (Bar-Ilan University)
Martin Golumbic (IBM Israel Scientific Center)
David Harel (Weizmann Institute)
Daniel Lehmann (Hebrew University)
Judea Pearl (UCLA)
Uri Schild (Bar-Ilan University)
Micha Sharir (New York University)
Jonathan Stavi (Bar-Ilan University)
Bar-Ilan University, through its Center for Applied Logic and Artificial
Intelligence (CALAI) of the Research Institute for the Mathematical
Sciences, is pleased to announce its first "Symposium on the Foundations
of Artificial Intelligence" to be held June 19-21, 1989. The Symposium
will be international in scope, with invited lectures by several leading
researchers from Israel and abroad. Although a small meeting is
anticipated, with selected speakers and no parallel sessions, an attempt
will be made to open attendance to all interested research scientists.
The Bar-Ilan Symposium on the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence is
intended to become a bi-annual event which will focus on a range of
topics of concern to scholars applying quantitative, combinatorial,
logical, algebraic and algorithmic methods to AI areas as diverse as
decision support, automatic reasoning, knowledge-based systems, machine
learning, computer vision, and robotics. These include applied
logicians, algorithms and complexity researchers, AI theorists, and
applications specialists using mathematical methods. By sponsoring such
symposia, we hope to influence the spawning of new areas of applied
mathematics and the strengthening of the scientific underpinnings of
artificial intelligence.
...................... INVITED LECTURES ......................
Ron Rivest (MIT) will lecture on
"Recent Developments in Machine Learning Theory".
Joe Halpern (IBM Research) will lecture on
"Reasoning about Knowledge and Probability".
Additional invited speakers will be announced at a later date.
...................... CALL FOR PAPERS .......................
High quality research papers are solicited for consideration by the
program committee to be presented at the Symposium. Submissions of
extended abstracts of 4-10 pages or full papers must arrive by
15 March 1989 and should be sent in triplicate to:
Prof. Martin Golumbic
IBM Israel Scientific Center
Technion City
Haifa, Israel
Decisions on presentations will be made on or before 15 April 1989.
.................... REFEREED PROCEEDINGS ....................
At the conclusion of the Symposium, all participants are invited to
submit full length papers which will be refereed according the usual
standard of the best professional journals, and those accepted will be
published in a separate, special issue of the Annals of Mathematics and
Artificial Intelligence as a permanent record of the Symposium.
For further information on the Symposium and to receive additional
announcements, contact

Subject: CFP - Workshop in Game-tree Search, Edmonton
CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on New Directions in Game-tree Search
Edmonton, Canada
28 - 31 May 1989
The workshop has two distinct components. In the evenings the 6th
World Computer Chess Championship will be held. This is an opportun-
ity to see first-hand the true state of the art in chess programming.
Hardware/Software from all major manufacturers, universities and
research laboratories will compete in public competition. A special
application form for the authors of chess programs is included in the
March issue of the International Computer Chess Association Journal.
During the afternoons, formal presentations on theoretical
aspects, discussion groups led by panels of experts, and detailed
presentations by chess program designers are planned. This workshop is
being organized and hosted by the Canadian Information Processing
Society as part of their Annual Congress.
Papers are solicited on all aspects of computer chess (and other
complex games, like GO) including, but not limited to:
search algorithms knowledge representation
search analysis knowledge acquisition
parallelism program design
planning databases
learning historical perspectives
Both original research and survey papers will be considered. The
organizing committee is interested in both full papers (of about 4000
words, to be reviewed for inclusion in a special workshop proceedings
or to be published in the ICCA Journal), and 1500-word extended
abstracts (for oral presentation only). Please send 4 copies of the
paper/abstract to:
Dr. Tony Marsland
Computing Science
University of Alberta
Edmonton
CANADA T6G 2H1
to be received no later than 1 March 1989. All items received will be
acknowledged, and notification of disposition will be sent before 15
April 1989.

IEEE NEWS GROUPS
(comp.org.ieee and att.society.ieee)
Friends,
The IEEE NEWS GROUPS, one for circulation within AT&T only
called att.society.ieee and another called comp.org.ieee
for world-wide circulation and use have been created.
I sincerely thank all of you who have supported in this
effort. I will try to get an article or some type of
coverage in IEEE INSTITUTE (a news suppliment to IEEE Spectrum)
to help publicize about this group and also increase
awareness about the groups' usefulness.
I encourage all of you to post any news information,
call for papers, conferences, special lectures and also
any professional discussions. To post anything
Type postnews (Return)
and then you get user friendly messages.
I will be posting some background info on the news groups.
Thanks to all of you, again.
Sincerely
K.R.S. Murthy
