Subject: Symposium on AI, Reasoning and Creativity
From: fay@archsci.arch.su.OZ.AU

                            SYMPOSIUM ON
	      ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, REASONING AND CREATIVITY

                          20-23 AUGUST 1991
                      immediately preceding the
       International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
                             (IJCAI'91)

                            organised by
               GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

                            to be held at
            LAMINGTON NATIONAL PARK, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA


Creativity is one of the least understood aspects of intelligence.  It is
commonly regarded as 'intuitive' and not susceptible to rational enquiry.
However, there is now considerable work in artificial intelligence and
cognitive science which addresses creativity.  This symposium will provide a
forum for exploring and discussing these ideas, and for suggesting directions
for future research.  It aims to attract practitioners of both 'cognitive'
and 'technological' artificial intelligence.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER - PROFESSOR MARGARET BODEN

INVITED SPEAKERS include
Ernest Edmonds, Loughborough University of Technology, UK
John Gero, University of Sydney, Australia
Graham Priest, University of Queensland, Australia
Roger Wales, University of Melbourne, Australia

TOPICS FOR PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
The symposium calls for extended abstracts of 750-1,000 words. The following
are suggested areas only:
    - Models of creativity
    - Modelling creative processes
    - Creative reasoning, e.g theory generation in science
    - Analogical reasoning
    - Case-based reasoning
    - Nonmonotonic reasoning
    - Thought experiments
All abstracts will be refereed. Accepted papers will be subjected to a
further refereeing process for publication by Kluwer Academic Press.
The symposium will be structured to provide adequate time for both
presentation and discussion.
