                                   TIME-98:
   Fifth International Workshop on Temporal Representation and Reasoning

                           Sanibel Island, Florida, USA
                                  May 15-16, 1998

                                FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together active researchers in the
area of temporal representation and reasoning in Artificial Intelligence.
Previous workshops have been successful at bridging the gaps between
theoretical
and applied research in temporal reasoning. The workshop is planned as a two
day event to immediately precede FLAIRS-98 (11th Annual Florida Artificial
Intelligence Research Symposium, May 17-20). Visit the TIME98 webpage at

                 http://www.cs.fit.edu/~lina/time/time98.html

or the FLAIRS-98 webpage at http://www-cse.uta.edu/~cook/flairs98.html
for more details.

TIME-98 will be conducted as a combination of paper presentations, an
extended poster session, and invited talks. Submission of high quality 
papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited for all areas of 
temporal representation and reasoning, including, but not limited to:


              temporal logics and ontologies
              temporal constraint reasoning
              temporal languages and architectures
              expressive power versus tractability
              belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
              temporal databases
              temporal learning and discovery
              reasoning about actions and events
              time and nonmonotonism
              time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling,...)
              time in multiple agents, communication, and synchronization
              other applications

To maximize interaction among participants, the size of the workshop will be
limited. Accepted papers will be invited for full presentation or a poster
presentation. All submissions must be received by December 8, 1997.
Prospective participants should submit a 6-8 page paper (indicating the 
selected areas), preferably electronically. To do so, send a postscript file
(ge
nerated
from a .dvi file) via anonymous ftp to the following site:

                        ftp://cs.fit.edu/pub/time98

Alternatively, send 5 hard copies of your submission to:

                Robert Morris or Lina Khatib
                TIME-98 Program Chairs
                Computer Science Program
                Florida Institute of Technology
                150 University Blvd.
                Melbourne, FL 32901


                              PUBLICATION

All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. As well, a
selected subset of the papers will be invited for inclusion (subject to
refereeing) in a book or in a special issue of a journal.
