The objectives of PRICAI are: to provide a forum for the introduction and discussion of new research results, concepts, & technologies; to provide practising engineers exposure to and an evaluation of evolving research, tools, and practices; to provide the research community exposure to the problems of practical applications of AI; and to encourage the exchange of AI technologies and experience within Pacific Rim countries. PRICAI 2000 attempts to meet the needs of a large and diverse constituency, which includes researchers, practitioners, educators, and users. Topics of PRICAI 2000 include: Abduction Knowledge discovery & Data mining Adaptive interface Knowledge management Agents Knowledge representation AI architectures Logic programming Artificial life Machine learning Bayesian networks Machine translation Belief revision Mobile agents Cognitive modelling Model-based reasoning CSCW and AI Multimedia and AI Common sense reasoning Multiagent systems Computational complexity Music and AI Computational learning theory Natural language processing Complex systems Neural networks Computer-aided education Nonmonotonic reasoning Constraint satisfaction Ontological engineering Decision theory Planning Description logics Probabilistic reasoning Distributed AI Qualitative reasoning Emergent computing Real-time systems Foundation of AI Reinforcement learning Fuzzy Logics Robotics Game playing Scientific discovery Genetic algorithms Search Image processing Software engineering and AI Induction Spatial reasoning Industrial applications of AI Speech and spoken dialog understanding Intelligent CAD Temporal reasoning Intelligent information gathering Text analysis Intelligent learning environment Theorem proving Internet and AI User modelling Knowledge acquisition, Virtual reality modeling and validation Vision Knowledge-based systems Aspects of AI not otherwise listed Submission ---------- Papers describing both theoretical and applied research in AI are welcome.
