                              Third Australian
                       Commonsense Reasoning Workshop

	(Web site: http://infosystems.newcastle.edu.au/webworld/acw99/)


                              Sydney, Australia
                              December 7, 1999


    The Third Australian Commonsense Reasoning Workshop will be held in
    conjunction with the Australian Joint Conference on Artificial
    Intelligence in December 1999.

    Modeling incompleteness, uncertainty and change are critically
    important for commonsense reasoning. Specific topics of interest at
    the workshop include, but are not limited to theoretical advances
    and computational strategies for:

            o belief revision
            o nonmonotonic reasoning
            o possibilistic reasoning
            o reasoning about action
            o knowledge representation
            o conceptual models
            o multi-agent models
            o ontologies
            o implementations
            o applications


    Invited Speakers

    John McCarthy, Stanford University, USA.
    Michael Thielscher, Dresden University, Germany.

    Paper Submission
    ----------------

    Authors are invited to submit either four hard copies or an
    electronic copy of their paper. Previously accepted papers, or
    papers under review are not acceptable. Submissions should be
    limited to 15 pages formatted on an area of (approx.) 140 x 210 mm
    (5.75 x 8.5 in.) in 12 point type (single-spaced and single column).
    Submissions should arrive no later than September 20, 1999. No
    copyright claims will be made, therefore accepted papers may be
    submitted elsewhere after the workshop reviewing period. The format
    of the papers may be in either hardcopy form (send 4 copies) or
    electronic form (post-script only). The Programme Committee has a
    preference for electronic submissions. We also welcome suggestions
    for panels. All submissions should include an email address, and a
    postal address of the author. Deadline dates will be strictly
    adhered to.

    Hardcopy papers should be sent to:

         Mary-Anne Williams
         Information Systems
         School of Management
         University of Newcastle
         NSW 2308, Australia
