CALL FOR PAPERS With over 3,000 attendees and visitors from some 30 countries, the 1990 10th Avignon International Workshop on Expert Systems and their Applications was the leading European event of the year in Artificial Intelligence. Avignon '91 will follow the tradition of the previous conferences by including a general conference on Expert Systems, as well as a series of specialized conferences dealing with specific fields of application. A specialized conference on "Natural Language Processing & its Applications" was held at Avignon '90, where it enjoyed enormous success, especially because it provided a platform for discussion among users, industrial companies, and researchers. The Natural Language conference will again be a part of Avignon'91, and will include papers, invited lectures, and panel sessions, tutorials, demonstrations, and an industrial forum on natural language. Topics ______ Papers may cover either applications or techniques. For the first category (computer assisted translation, interfaces with databases, automatic indexing, etc.), authors should specify whether the nature of the application is specialized or general, as well as the degree to which the implementation has been realized. For technical or scientific papers, linguistic models (dialog, lexical representations, etc.) should be clearly distinguished from the computing techniques employed (automatic systems and problem-solving strategies for analysis or generation). Submission __________ Authors should submit 7 copies of their papers before January 7, 1991 to the AVIGNON '91 general chairman: Jean-Claude Rault EC2 269-287, rue de la Garenne ; 92000 Nanterre ; France tel: 33 - 1 - 47.80.70.00 ; fax: 33 - 1 - 47.80.66.29 Paper should be 2000 to 5000 words (about 10 pages single-spaced). Each submission should contain the following information: title of paper; full name of all authors; complete address of first author (including telephone, fax number and e-mail address if available); abstract of 100-200 words; list of key-words. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three referees. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be mailed after March 1, 1991.
