Int. Workshop on Parallel Processing for AI Message-ID: <13293@hubcap.clemson.edu> Date: 25 Feb 91 15:14:05 GMT Sender: fpst@hubcap.clemson.edu Reply-To: suttner@informatik.tu-muenchen.de (Christian Suttner) Organization: Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany Lines: 110 Approved: parallel@hubcap.clemson.edu Apparently-To: comp-parallel@unido.informatik.uni-dortmund.de CALL FOR PAPERS The First International Workshop on Parallel Processing for Artificial Intelligence August 24 - 25, 1991 (During IJCAI-91) Sydney, Australia The First International Workshop on Parallel Processing for Artificial Intelligence will be held in Sydney, Australia in conjunction with IJCAI- 91. In recent years we have seen the emergence of parallel machines. In spite of the wide acceptance of parallel processing as a major technology for modern computers, only a few AI applications have been implemented on parallel machines. The intent of this workshop is to bring together hardware architects, AI researchers and application engineers who are engaged in or interested in parallel artificial intelligence. Through key presentations and ample dis- cussions, it is hoped that the workshop will facilitate the exchange of ideas among researchers, as well as to bridge the gap between hardware ar- chitects and AI researchers. The granularity of parallelism discussed at the workshop will range from coarse-grain to fine-grain parallel process- ing. The program committee invites submission of high quality contributions on parallelism in AI. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Parallel Algorithms for AI Parallel Search, Problem Solving, Planning, Constraint-directed Reason- ing, Decision Making, Natural Language Processing, Vision, etc. * Parallel Inference Systems Parallel Deduction, Automated Theorem Proving, Concurrent Logic Langu- ages, Implementations, Performance Evaluations, etc. * Massive Parallelism for AI Massively Parallel Machines (Architecture, Benchmarks, etc.), Spreading Activation, Connectionism, Bulk Data Processing, etc. Please submit two (2) copies to each of the three workshop co-chairmen listed below (i.e., a total of six copies) of a full paper (limited to 5000 words) by April 1. Please send, if possible, e-mail versions of your paper to the co-chairmen as well. All submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop committee. It is our intent to publish a workshop proceedings to be made available at the workshop. We intend that the workshop be held on an annual basis. An attempt will be made to hold it together with IJCAI when IJCAI is held and with AAAI when IJCAI is not held.
