AISC 2008 - 9th International Conference on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION Theory, Implementations and Applications http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/aisc08/ Birmingham, UK, 31 July - 2 August
2008
AISC 2008 is part of the Conferences in Intelligent Computer Mathematics http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/cicm08/ Birmingham, UK, 28 July-2 August 2008
CALL FOR PAPERS
Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Computation are two views and approaches for automating problem solving, in particular mathematical problem solving. The two approaches are based on heuristics and on mathematical algorithmics, respectively. Artificial Intelligence can be applied to Symbolic Computation and Symbolic Computation can be applied to Artificial Intelligence. Hence, a wealth of challenges, ideas, theoretical insights and results, methods
and algorithms arise in the interaction of the two fields and research communities. Advanced tools of software technology and system design are needed and a broad spectrum of applications is possible by the combined problem solving power of the two fields.
Hence, the conference is in the center of interest and interaction for various research communities:
Topics ====== Topics of particular interest of the conference include:
* AI in Symbolic Mathematical Computing * Computer Algebra Systems and Automated Theorem Provers * Integration of Logical Reasoning and Computer Algebra * Symmetries in AI problems, * Engineering, Industrial and Operations Research Applications * Foundations and Complexity of Symbolic Computation * Mathematical Modeling of Multi-Agent Systems * Programming Languages for Symbolic Computation * Symbolic Computations for Expert Systems and Machine Learning * Implementations of Symbolic Computation Systems * Logic and Symbolic Computing * Implementation and Performance Issues * Intelligent Interfaces * Symbolic Techniques for Document Analysis
Papers on other topics with links to the above research fields and topics will also be welcomed for consideration.
Proceedings ===========
The proceedings of the conference will be published as a volume in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) by Springer-Verlag. Accepted papers will have to be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the requirements of the Springer's LNAI series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html and are the same for LNCS and LNAI).
Submission ==========
Theoretical and applied research papers on all topics within the scope of the conference are invited. Submitted papers (in English) must not exceed 15 pages in length (in the LNCS style). The title page should contain the title, author(s) with affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), listing of keywords and abstract plus the topics from the above list to which the paper is related. The program committee (PC) will subject all
submitted papers to a peer review. Theoretical papers will be judged on their originality and contribution to their field, and applied papers on the importance and originality of the application. Results must be original and have not been published elsewhere.
Submission deadline: 24 February 2008 Notification: 23 March 2008 Camera Ready Version: 27 April Conference: 31 July - 2 August 2008
