Deadline of the paper submissions: April, 15th 2002.
Notification of acceptance: May 31st, 2002
Camera-ready papers: June 30th, 2002
Proceedings and Submission Forma
Proceedings will be published in Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html )
The first page of submitted papers should include: title, author names, affiliations, postal addresses, electronic mail
addresses, telephone and fax numbers for all authors, and a brief abstract. All correspondence will be sent to the
author mentioned as contact person in the electronic title page (by default, the first author). Submissions should not
exceed 6000 words and should be printable on A4 paper with at least 1 inch margins on all sides. Notice that,
proceedings will be published as LNAI, authors may already use the Springer style files available at the Authors
Instructions subpage ( http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html )
LNCS now also is published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic version and that we therefore
need, besides the printed papers, the electronic files of all parts of the paper

Call for Demos/Industrial Track.
The goal of the Demo session or Industrial Track is to give space to Universities and companies to present (from a
technical point of view) their software related to advanced knowledge technologies. In case the software is not
described in a paper of the main conference, authors have to submit a 4 page description of their software. The
descriptions wil be reviewed and published in the EKAW-02 demo notes. Papers submitted to this track should
follow the same submission guidelines as the main conference.
Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EKAW 2002 Demo/Industrial Track Chair.
