              Call for Tutorial Proposals: IJCAI-91
 
The IJCAI-91 Program Committee invites proposals for the
Tutorial program of the International Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (IJCAI-91) to be held in Sydney, Australia, 24-30 August
1991.
Tutorials will be offered both on standard topics and on new
and more advanced topics.  A list of topics from the IJCAI-89 Tutorial
Program is given below, to suggest the breadth of topics that can be
covered by tutorials, but this list is only a guide.  Other topics,
both related to these and quite different from them, will be
considered:

* Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
 
* Logic Programming
 
* Planning and Reasoning about Time
 
* Evaluating Knowledge-Engineering Tools
 
* Truth Maintenance Systems
 
* Knowledge-Acquisition
 
* Natural Language Processing
 
* Artificial Intelligence and Education
 
* Common Lisp Object System
 
* Advanced Architectures for Expert Systems
 
* Computer Vision
 
* Uncertainty Management
 
* Model-Based Diagnosis
 
* Case-Based Reasoning
 
* Real-Time Knowledge-Based Systems
 
* Neural Network Architectures
 
* Managing Expert Systems Projects
 
* Knowledge Representation
 
* Artificial Intelligence and Design
 
* Reasoning about Action and Change
 
* Inductive Learning
 
* Verifying and Validating Expert Systems
 
* Constraint-Directed Reasoning
 
* Integrating AI and Database Technologies
 
Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial should submit a
proposal to the 1991 Tutorial Chair, Martha Pollack.  Proposals from a
pair of presentors will be strongly favored over ones from a single
individual.  A tutorial proposal should contain the following
information:
 
 
1. Topic.
 
2. A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in
the conference registration brochure.
 
3. A detailed outline of the tutorial.
 
4. The necessary background and the potential target audience for
the tutorial.
 
5. A description of why the tutorial topic is of interest to a
substantial segment of the IJCAI audience (for new topics only).
 
6. A brief resume of the presentor(s), which should include name,
mailing address, phone number, email address if available, background
in the tutorial area, any available examples of work in the area
(ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject), evidence
of teaching experience (including references that address the
proposer's presentation ability), and evidence of scholarship in
AI/Computer Science (equivalent to a published IJCAI conference paper
or tutorial syllabus).
 
Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are
intended to provide an overview of a field; they should present
reasonably well agreed upon information in a balanced way.  Tutorials
should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should
they promote a product.
 
Proposals must be received by Jan. 4, 1991. Decisions about topics and
speakers will be made by Feb. 22, 1991. Speakers should be prepared to
submit completed course materials by July 1, 1991.
 
Proposals should be sent to:
 
Dr. Martha Pollack
Artificial Intelligence Center
