The 15th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence ECAI 2002 will
be organized in Lyon (France), July 21-26, 2002.

The deadline for tutorial proposal at ECAI 2002 is now
approaching. The tutorials will be held on 21-22 July 2002,
immediately prior to the start of the main conference.

IMPORTANT DATES

1 Nov 2001	Deadline for proposals
1 Dec 2001	Notification of acceptance
15 Dec 2001	Deadline for tutorial summaries
5 Jan 2002	Publication of ECAI-2002 tutorial programme
25 May 2002	Camera-ready tutorial notes

21-22 Jul 2002	Tutorials at ECAI-2002

We invite proposals for four-hour or full day tutorials
on topics relating to theoretical and applied AI. The
aim is to offer conference delegates both tutorials on
up-to-date AI technologies, and case study tutorials on
the application of the AI technologies to real-world
problems.

A list of suggested topics is given below:

artificial life		knowledge representation
automated deduction		language technology
case-based reasoning		logic programming
constraint processing  	machine learning
data, text and web mining	model-based reasoning
entertainment and arts	ontological engineering
intelligent agents 		planning and scheduling
intelligent interfaces 	probabilistic reasoning
knowledge discovery		and uncertainty
knowledge engineering	qualitative modelling
knowledge management		and simulation
semantic web			temporal and spatial reasoning

Tutorials can play a major role in educating the AI
community. It might concern emerging opportunities,
technologies and problem areas: topics we did not
imagine to mention are thus welcome. It can equally
concern core methods from other disciplines that
promise a strong synergy with AI methods, e.g.,
cognitive psychology, biology, statistics.
