											6th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence :
                      Methodology, Systems, Applications

                    Sofia, Bulgaria, September 21-24, 1994

 
                    --------------------------------------

Since the first  AIMSA in 1984, the AIMSA conferences take place in 
Bulgaria. 
They are biennial forums for presentation of AI research and development,
with
a now well established tradition of international  scientific exchange
between 
Central and Oriental Europe and the rest of the world.


AIMSA'94 is sponsored by ECCAI, European Coordinating Committee for
Artificial 
Intelligence


AIMSA'94 will be  preceeded by a Summer School on AI organized by Tempus
Joint 
European Project 1728, with the support of Tempus Joint European Project
1497.

                    ---------------------------------------


Topics of interest
------------------
	„	Automated reasoning : theorem proving, reasoning about action and
change, 
		 reasoning  about time  and space, constraint satisfaction, reasoning on 
		 uncertainty and with fuzzy sets, analogy and induction, machine
learning.
	„	Logics for AI : logics for knowledge, belief and intention, multi-valued

   logics, modal and temporal logics, epistemic logics, fuzzy logics.
	„	Languages, structures and algorithms for AI : logic programming,

		 language front ends.
	„	Perception and action : computer vision, object recognition, stereo
vision,

	 	planning, mobile robotics, behavior-based reactive robots.
	„	Principles of AI applications : AI for decision systems, AI in
education, AI 
   in engineering design, AI in manufacturing control, AI in medicine, AI
in
	 	molecular biology, AI in environmental sciences.

Format of papers
----------------
Papers should be written in English and be printed on one side of A4 paper,
no 
more than 50 lines per page, 3cm margins and 12 point type. Minimum length

be 
considered.

Each paper should start with :

		 program committee will be sent),
	„	An abstract of 100-150 words.

Selection of papers
-------------------
Each paper will be reviewed by several referees. Selection criteria include

accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results,
