Call for Papers ECAI-92 Workshop
Logical Approaches to Machine Learning
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP), a novel subarea of Machine Learning
combining Machine Learning and Logic Programming, is studying how to
apply a logical formalisation to the tasks of generalisation and
specialisation from examples and introduction of new terms. In this
workshop, we would like to address these issues and to develop other,
less frequently adressed ones, such as the knowledge acquisition
aspects of ILP.
Areas of interest of the workshop include any work that formalises a
learning problem using a logic programming framework. In particular:
generalisation and specialisation techniques, abstraction, abduction,
non monotonic learning, non monotonic logic, introduction of new
terms, noise, study of bias, learnability, etc...
We encourage submissions of original results and ideas, either based
on theory and / or implementation as well as synthesis or comparison
papers. The second international ILP workshop will be held this year
in Tokyo, in connection to FGCS92. The Logical Approach to Machine
Learning workshop is an opportunity for European researchers who will
not attend ILP92 to present their work. Those who will attend ILP92
can present their work or summary of papers presented in Japan. The
workshop will be held on the 4th of August. 5 copies of extended
abstracts (max 5 pages) should be sent to Celine Rouveirol before 15th
April. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15th May, the camera
ready version of papers must be received imperatively by 15th June.
Preprint of the accepted papers will be distributed at the workshop.

Subject: AI Symposium
Dear Colleague,
I am organizing a Symposium on AI as part of the 6th International
Conference on Systems Research and Cybernetics. It is to be held in
Baden-Baden next August and a copy of the announcement is appended to
this message. I am trying to achieve a balance between theoretical
issues and practical applications of AI and would like to have a
significant segment devoted to machine learning. I hope that you will
consider contributing a paper and I would be grateful if you could
help me in attracting other good contributors from the ML field. We
have made tentative arrangements for selected papers from the AI
Symposium to be published in a special issue of the Journal of
Intelligent Systems. Hence the authors will have the potential of
exposure beyond the Conference Proceedings.
Papers for the Conference will be selected on the basis of a 200 word
abstract. The full papers from the AI Symposium will subsequently be
refereed for publication in the journal.
Abstracts should be forwarded to me no later than 15 March, 1992.
FAX <(613) 952-7151> or e-mail <jack@ai.iit.nrc.ca> submissions are
preferred.
I hope that we will have the opportunity to meet in Baden-Baden.

6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
on
SYSTEMS RESEARCH INFORMATICS AND CYBERNETICS
August 17-23, 1992
Convention Centre - Congresshouse
Baden-Baden, Germany
Sponsored by:
The International Institute for
Advanced Studies in Systems Research and Cybernetics
and
Society for Applied Systems Research
The Conference will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of
short reports on current systems research in humanities, sciences and
engineering. A number of specialized symposia will be held within the
Conference to focus on research in computer science, linguistics, cognitive
science, psychocybernetics, synergetics, logic, philosophy, management,
education and related areas.
The aim of the conference is to encourage and facilitate the interdisciplinary
and transdisciplinary communication and cooperation amongst scientists,
engineers, and professionals working in different fields, and to identify and
develop those areas of research that will most benefit from such a
cooperation.
The 1992 conference will place particular emphasis on Artificial Intelligence.
Topics in this Symposium will include, but are not limited to, the following:
Knowledge representation, Reasoning, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Fuzzy
Logic, User models, and Intelligent Tutoring Systems. Papers dealing with
theoretical issues or with applications are solicited. In addition to paper
presentations, panel sessions on several of these topics are planned.
Participants who wish to present a paper are requested to submit two copies of
a 200 word abstract as soon as possible, but not later than March 15, 1992.
Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors by March 30, 1992. Full
papers, not exceeding 6 single-spaced typed pages, will be required by
May 12, 1992. Arrangements have been made for selected papers from the
Artificial Intelligence Symposium to be published in the Journal of
Intelligent Systems.
Submissions for the Artificial Intelligence Symposium should be addressed

Request for Proposals
Following the regular NIPS program, workshops on current topics
in Neural Information Processing will be held on December 4 and
5, 1992, in Vail, Colorado. Proposals by qualified individuals
interested in chairing one of these workshops are solicited.
Past topics have included: Computational Neuroscience; Sensory

free time in between for ongoing individual exchange or outdoor
activities. Specific open and/or controversial issues are en-
couraged and preferred as workshop topics. Individuals proposing
to chair a workshop will have responsibilities including: arrange
brief informal presentations by experts working on the topic,
moderate or lead the discussion, and report its high points,
findings and conclusions to the group during evening plenary ses-
sions, and in a short (2 page) written summary. Submission Pro-
cedure: Interested parties should submit a short proposal for a
workshop of interest postmarked by May 22, 1992. (Express mail
is *not* necessary. Submissions by electronic mail will also be
acceptable.) Proposals should include a title, a short descrip-
tion of what the workshop is to address and accomplish, and the
proposed length of the workshop (one day or two days). It should
state why the topic is of interest or controversial, why it
should be discussed and what the targeted group of participants
is. In addition, please send a brief resume of the prospective
workshop chair, a list of publications and evidence of scholar-
ship in the field of interest. Mail submissions to:
