Dear colleague:

The final dates of the 1998 IEEE ICTAI Conference and 
the 1998 IEEE KDEX Workshop (held in conjunction with 
ICTAI'98) are as follows:

  November 8-9,   KDEX Workshop  
  November 10-12, ICTAI'98 Conference

The ICTAI'98 call-for-paper has been attached below. 
The KDEX'98 call-for-paper will come out soon. 
Please forward to your colleague who might be interested. 
We have also established web sites for ICTAI'98 and KDEX'98
on http://aidu.cs.nthu.edu.tw/ictai/index.html and
http://www.cecs.missouri.edu/ictai. Currently, only the 
ICTAI'98 call-for-paper is on. Later we will put subsequent 
information on this site when it becomes available.

Best regards,

		   CALL FOR PAPERS (ICTAI '98)
               10TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
             ON TOOLS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

                  November 10-12, 1998, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC
                               Sponsored by: 
                           IEEE Computer Society &
              Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence
                           In collaboration with: 
                       National Cheng Kung University 
               Research Center for Computer System Technology

                 Computer and Communication Research Center 

Theme
The annual ICTAI conference is an international forum for the exchange 
of ideas relating to artificial intelligence (AI) among academia, 
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 topics of interest:

AI algorithms 
Cognitive Modeling  
Environmental Applications 
Genetic Algorithms 
Intelligent Tutoring/Training Systems 
Intelligent Interface Agents  
Knowledge Sharing  
Planning and Scheduling
Qualitative Reasoning
Collaborative Software Agents
Fuzzy Logic and Reasoning Under Uncertainty
Intelligent Control
Intelligent Internet Agents
Intelligent Databases and Information Retrieval
Machine Learning
Neural Networks
Robotics
Vision and Image Processing
AI in Software Engineering
Natural Language Processing and Speech Understanding

We are particularly interested in papers on AI tools and applications 
for intelligent agent technology.

Submission Guidelines.
Authors are requested to submit five copies of a double-spaced 
manuscript (in English, maximum 20 pages), including an abstract and a 
list of subject areas, to one of the program chairs by May 20, 1998.  
Authors in the Asian Pacific region should
submit their papers to Y.-H. Kuo.  Authors in other regions should 
submit their papers to J. Yen.

Each submission must report on unpublished original work and be 
accompanied by a cover letter that indicates the contact author and 
appropriate subject areas that the paper can be classified under. 
Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 31, 1998 and will be 
given instructions for camera-ready versions of their papers at that 
time.

Outstanding papers will be eligible for publication in the International 
journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools and for receiving the C. V. 
Ramamoorthy Best Paper award. Panel organizers are requested to submit a 
panel proposal consisting of a position statement and a list of 
panelists to one of the program chairs by  May 20, 1998. Panel 
organizers will be notified of acceptance by July 31, 1998. Tutorial 
organizers should submit a two-page proposal to one of the General 
Chairs by May 20, 1998.  The proposal should describe the scope 
and topic areas of the tutorial, the intended audience, any 
instructional material, previous offerings of the tutorial, past 
attendance statistics, and a short biography of the speaker.  Tutorial 
organizers will be notified of acceptance by July 31, 1998.
