			       CALL FOR PAPERS
			       ---------------

I am chairing a session on the topic of DISTRIBUTED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE at
a conference in Copenhagen on June 17th. - 19th. 1991. The session is part of
the European Simulation Multiconference (ESM'91).

This multi-conference consists of six simultaneous conferences and the DAI
session is to be included in a conference called `Parallel and Distributed
Processing'.

I am asking for papers on ANY aspect of DAI but those concerned directly with
parallelism and/or simulation in DAI will be particularly welcome.  I would
like the theme of the session to be oriented towards the agent metaphor and in
particular the interactions between agents, and between them and their
environment.

Unfortunately (for reasons outside my control) the first deadline is very
close. Please send extended abstracts to me (see below) by Dec. 1st. 1990.
These abstracts will be refereed and used to select the final papers. They
should be about two pages long and calculated to allow as good an evaluation of
the work to be described in the final paper as is possible in an abstract. If
you need any more information do not hesitate to contact me by any of the
usual methods (addresses below) and I will do my best to help.

I am sorry about the haste but you still have time to produce an abstract. The
full timetable is as follows:

    Extended abstracts		1/12/90 To be refereed.

    Notification of aceptance	15/1/91	Advice and author's kit sent out.

    Final papers		20/3/91	Final review

    Conference			17/6/91 - 19/6/91  Copenhagen, Denmark.

I hope very much to receive your contribution within the next two weeks.


Regards,

David Connah.
