The 20th German Annual Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI-96, will
be held at the conference center Dre.Punct and the Technical University at
Dresden. It consists of a scientific and an application track.

         General Chair:  Guenther Goerz, Univ. Erlangen-Nuernberg         
         Program Chair:  Steffen Hoelldobler, TU Dresden 
     Application Chair:  Heinz Schwaertzel, FAST Muenchen 

The application track comprises several forums and an industrial
exhibition. The scientific track consists of invited as well as refereed
talks, workshops, posters and system demonstrations. The official
languages are German and English.

We invite you to submit papers, posters as well as system demonstrations
on all aspects of artificial intelligence like, for example,

     knowledge representation, machine learning, and knowledge based systems;
     reasoning, deduction, inference, and inference systems;
     diagnosis, classification, planning, and expert systems;
     cognition and cognitive systems;
     vision and visual information processing systems;
     language and natural language processing systems;
     neural networks and connectionist systems;
     agents and multi agent systems;
     humans and robot systems;
     AI-systems and their sociological implications.

Beside these topics we are particularly interested in contributions
covering all aspects concerning the representation of knowledge, from
representations within nervous systems to representations within
artificial systems.
