DM: ECAI 2000 Final Call [1st of August Late Registration Deadline]From: ECAI 2000 Publicity [Markus Hannebauer] Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2000 19:31:20 +0200
[Please accept our apologies for multiple copies of this call.] -------------- FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION --------------------- ECAI 2000/PAIS 2000 14th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems Berlin, Humboldt University August 20-25, 2000 http://www.ecai2000.hu-berlin.de ------------------------------------------------------------------- LATE REGISTRATION DEADLINE 1st of August 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Organized by German Informatics Society (GI) and European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) Hosted by Humboldt University Berlin In this special turn of the century we invite you to celebrate ECAI 2000 in Berlin. Being the fourteenth in a very successful series of European Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, ECAI 2000 will offer a unique opportunity to bring industry and academics together to explore the full spectrum of Artificial Intelligence, from theory and methodology to its application in commercial systems. Respond to the call of the German Informatics Society (GI) and the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence, the world's largest umbrella organization for AI, and meet well- known AI experts at Humboldt University Berlin, a University that can proudly look back on almost 200 years of tradition and 29 associated Nobel prize winners. Since the year 2000 is a special year, we will make ECAI 2000 a very special conference. ECAI 2000 gathered 443 submissions from which, however, only 139 have been accepted for presentation. Although the majority of papers comes from Europe, there is a significant number of papers from Australia, Asia, and North America, leading to a total of 42 contributing countries. Furthermore, ECAI 2000 comprises six invited talks plus one public talk given by distinguished scientists, master-class lec- tures in 10 tutorials and serious discussions of hot new research topics in 29 workshops. The real success of Artificial Intelligence will be measured by the applications that use the technology rather than the techno- logy itself. For the first time, ECAI comprises the Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems sub-conference (PAIS 2000), which is the first major European showcase of beneficial solu- tions for industry and commerce based on AI technologies. ECAI and PAIS are accompanied by an exhibition concept that re- flects AI's history, its gaining grounds in the 20th century and its progress paths envisioned into the 21st century. We also plan to have a rather unusual sidetrack meant to attract layman such that ECAI 2000 becomes an event in Berlin and not only one of diverse scientific congresses hardly noticed by the public. In so far, we aim at presenting AI on ECAI 2000 in a very broad scope in order to show its relation to other classical and advanced IT topics. In the following we will present a short glance at the program of ECAI 2000. We will also provide some information on registra- tion deadlines and fees.
