                             CALL FOR PAPERS

                    The First International Workshop on
              Parallel Processing for Artificial Intelligence

                   August 24 - 25, 1991 (During IJCAI-91)
                            Sydney, Australia


The First International Workshop on Parallel Processing  for  Artificial
Intelligence will be held  in  Sydney,  Australia  in  conjunction  with
IJCAI-91.

In recent years we have seen the  emergence  of  parallel  machines.  In
spite  of  the  wide  acceptance  of  parallel  processing  as  a  major
technology for modern computers, only a few AI  applications  have  been
implemented on parallel machines.

The intent of this workshop is to bring together hardware architects, AI
researchers and application engineers who are engaged in  or  interested
in parallel artificial intelligence. Through key presentations and ample
discussions, it is hoped that the workshop will facilitate the  exchange
of ideas among researchers,  as  well  as  to  bridge  the  gap  between
hardware architects and AI researchers. The granularity  of  parallelism
discussed at the workshop will range  from  coarse-grain  to  fine-grain
parallel processing.

The program committee invites submission of high  quality  contributions
on parallelism in AI. Topics of interest include but are not limited  to
the following:

 * Parallel Algorithms for AI
   Parallel Search, Problem Solving, Planning, Constraint-directed
   Reasoning, Decision Making, Natural Language Processing, Vision, etc.

 * Parallel Inference Systems
   Parallel Deduction, Automated Theorem Proving, Concurrent Logic
   Languages, Implementations, Performance Evaluations, etc.

 * Massive Parallelism for AI
   Massively Parallel Machines (Architecture, Benchmarks, etc.),
   Spreading Activation, Connectionism, Bulk Data Processing, etc.

Please submit two (2) copies to each of the three  workshop  co-chairmen
listed below (i.e., a total of six copies) of a full paper  (limited  to
5000 words) by April 1. Please send, if  possible,  e-mail  versions  of
your paper to the co-chairmen as well.  All  submitted  papers  will  be
reviewed by the workshop committee.  It  is  our  intent  to  publish  a
workshop proceedings to be made available at  the  workshop.  We  intend
that the workshop be held on an annual basis. An attempt will be made to
hold it together with IJCAI when IJCAI is held and with AAAI when  IJCAI
is not held.
