CALL   FOR   PAPERS
		9TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON 
	TOOLS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (ICTAI 1997) 

November 4-7, 1997
Newport Beach, California,  U.S.A.
Sponsored by:
IEEE Computer Society 

THEME
The annual ICTAI conference is an international forum for the exchange
of ideas relating  to artificial intelligence (AI) among academe,
industry, and government agencies.  It fosters the creation and
transfer of such ideas, and promotes their cross-fertilization over all
AI application domains and AI paradigms through a unifying theme: AI
Tools.  ICTAI focuses on both theory and developing, implementing, and
evaluating theoretical and applied frameworks that may serve as tools
for developing intelligent systems and pursuing AI applications.
Following are some example subjects of interest:

  Adaptive Systems and Process Control
  AI algorithms
  AI in Software Engineering
  Automated Reasoning
  Cognitive Modeling
  Constraint Satisfaction
  Distributed AI and Intelligent Agents
  Environmental Applications
  Genetic Algorithms
  Instructional Environments
  Intelligent Internet Services
  Intelligent User Interfaces and Multimodal HC Interaction
  Knowledge Base Technology, intelligent Databases
  Knowledge-Based Systems
  Knowledge Representation
  Knowledge Acquisition and Machine Learning
  Natural Language Processing and Speech Understanding
  Neural Networks
  Non-Standard Logic(s) for AI
  Planning and Temporal Reasoning 
  Robotics
  Qualitative Reasoning and Diagnosis
  Reasoning Under Uncertainty
  Vision and Image Processing
       
This year we are particularly interested in receiving papers 
on AI tools for multimedia and entertainment applications.
