The Sixth Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI'93)

	            CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

		       Melbourne, Australia
			17-19 November 1993


The AI'93 Workshop Coordinator invites proposals for workshops to be
held on 16 November 1993, the day before the conference. The workshops
will provide a venue in which researchers, developers and users with
common interests may exchange ideas in an informal setting. Each
workshop will focus on a particular topic chosen by the workshop
organisers. The Workshop Coordinator is willing to consider workshop
proposals on any topic related to AI.

Workshop organisers are encouraged to include a mixture of formal
presentations and open discussion in their workshop program. A
workshop may last for either a half-day or full-day, depending on
the number of participants. In order to facilitate discussion,
attendance at each workshop will be restricted to active participants
only and numbers should be kept low, i.e., less than thirty.

It is expected that three or four people will be required to organise
a workshop, including one person who is nominated as the workshop
chair. The responsibilities of the workshop organisers will be 
as follows:

- to distribute a "Call for Participation" for the workshop;
- to select and invite the participants of the workshop, usually on
  the basis of an extended abstract describing their current work;
- to set the program for the workshop;
- to inform the Workshop Coordinator by a date to be specified of
  the participants and the schedule for the workshop.


REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSALS

All proposals will be considered by the AI'93 Workshop Coordinator,
and the workshop chair will be notified by 1 June 1993 as to whether
or not the proposal has been accepted.

A proposal should be approximately two pages in length.
It should specify:

- the topic of the workshop and the issues to be discussed;
- one or two paragraphs describing the appeal of this workshop
  to the AI community;
- the names of the workshop organisers, including the workshop chair,
  together with a postal address, email address and phone number
  for each organiser;
- an outline of the proposed format and duration of the workshop.


IMPORTANT DATES

Deadline for workshop proposals:    30 April 1993.
Workshop organisers informed of
the outcome of their proposal:       1 June 1993.
Date of workshop:                   16 November 1993.
