Re: CAIA-92: 8th IEEE Conference on AI for APPLICATIONS

Call for Participation
CAIA-92
The Eighth IEEE Conference on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE for APPLICATIONS
March 2-6, 1992
Doubletree Hotel,  Monterey, California

During the last seven years, the IEEE Computer Society's
Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Applications has
established itself as a key conference for business and technical
people who want to keep up on the fast-changing world of
commercial AI.  This year the eighth annual CAIA will continue
that tradition by providing a provocative mix of introductory,
intermediate and advanced talks, tutorials, workshops, and
panels.  This year's conference will also feature a special
series of talks and panels on the various knowledge
representation standardization efforts that are underway in a
variety of organizations.  Special plenary talks will be:

  DR. MELVIN  MONTEMERLO, NASA
  AI Applications at NASA: Hindsight and Foresight

  PROFESSOR RANDALL DAVIS, MIT
  Software Patents and Copyrights: How Did We Get Into This Mess? And
  How Do We Get Out?

  PROFESSOR LOTFI ZADEH, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
  The Calculus of Fuzzy If-Then Rules and Its Application

For a complete copy of the text of the advance program, send
email to CAIA@CS.UMBC.EDU.  A mail agent will immediately respond
with the program which describes the tutorials and workshops,
lists all of the invited talks, panels, and accepted papers, and
includes information of registration and housing.

Re: ACL-92 Student Session Call for Papers

CALL FOR PAPERS
Student Session
     at the
30th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
     28 June - 2 July 1992
     University of Delaware
     Newark, Delaware, USA

PURPOSE: This session provides a forum in which student members
can present work in progress and receive feedback from other
members of the computational linguistics community, particularly
senior researchers.  The session will be workshop-style,
consisting of short paper presentations and discussion.

REQUIREMENTS: Papers should describe original, unpublished work
in progress that demonstrates insight, creativity, and promise.
Topics of interest are the same as for the main conference.  All
authors must have ACL Student Membership at the time of the
conference.  For membership information contact Don Walker at the
address below.  Papers submitted to the main conference will not
be considered for the student session.  Students may of course
submit papers to both.  Note that having a student session for
the presentation of ongoing work in NO way influences the
treatment of student-written papers submitted to the main
conference.  Rather, the student session will provide an entirely
separate track emphasizing students' ``work in progress'' rather
than completed work.

FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION: Authors should submit four copies of an
extended abstract up to 3 pages long (including title, authors,
references, etc). Submissions should be laid out in the
conventional double-column conference format, with 1 inch margins
on all sides, and a typeface no smaller than 10 pt.  In addition,
a SEPARATE ``topic area'' page should include the title, name(s)
of the author(s), complete addresses (including e-mail), and one
or more keywords identifying the topic area.  Send to:

Lenhart Schubert (ACL Student Session)
University of Rochester
Computer Science Department
Rochester, NY, 14627-0226 USA
schubert@cs.rochester.edu

EMAIL SUBMISSION: As an experiment, authors are encouraged to
submit an additional copy of their paper via email.  LaTeX,
Postscript, or ASCII formats are acceptable.  Also, please note
the SCHEDULE information below.  Email submissions should be
directed to:

traum@cs.rochester.edu (David Traum (+1-716) 275-7230)

SCHEDULE: Submissions must be RECEIVED by 10 FEBRUARY 1992.
Authors submitting email versions must have email versions arrive
by this date and hardcopy versions postmarked by this date;
authors not submitting email versions must have the hardcopy
arrive by this date.  Authors will be notified of acceptance by
20 MARCH 1992.  Camera ready copies of final papers must be
received by 20 APRIL 1992.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION:  Programs and registration forms will be
mailed in March to ACL members.  Nonmembers interested in
receiving copies, dues statements, and other information about
the conference or concerning the ACL generally, should contact
Don Walker (ACL), Bellcore, MRE 2A379, 445 South Street, Box
1910, Morristown, NJ 07960-1910, USA; (+1-201)829-4312;

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW):  An International
Journal  will be devoted to innovative research in Computer
Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). It will provide an
interdisciplinary forum for the debate and exchange of ideas
concerning theoretical, practical, technical and social issues in
CSCW.

The journal arises as a timely response to the growing interest
in the design, implementation and use of technical systems
(including computing, information, and communications
technologies) which support people working cooperatively.
Equally, the journal is concerned with studies of the process of
cooperative work itself - studies intended to motivate the design
of new technical systems, and to develop both theory and praxis
in the field. The journal will encourage contributions from a
wide range of disciplines and perspectives within the social,
computing and allied human and information sciences.

In general, the journal will facilitate the discussion of all
issues which arise in connection with the support requirements of
cooperative work. It is intended that the journal will be of
interest to a wide readership through its coverage of research
related to - inter alia - groupware, socio-technical system
design, theoretical models of cooperative work, computer mediated
communication, human-computer interaction, group decision support
systems (GDSS), coordination systems, distributed systems,
situated action, studies of cooperative work and practical
action, organisation theory and design, the sociology of
technology, explorations of innovative design strategies,
management and business science perspectives, artificial
intelligence and distributed AI approaches to cooperation,
library and information sciences, and all manner of technical
innovations devoted to the support of cooperative work including
electronic meeting rooms, teleconferencing facilities, electronic
mail enhancements, real-time and asynchronous technologies,
desk-top conferencing, shared editors, video and multi-media
systems. In addition, we welcome studies of the social, cultural,
moral, legal and political implications of CSCW systems.

CALL FOR PAPERS:  Manuscripts (5 Copies) relating to any of the
above-mentioned themes and topics are invited for submission.
Manuscripts should be submitted to the Journals Editorial Office
at the address below:
