FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

Ninth International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
http://anytime.cs.umass.edu/aimath06/

January 4-6, 2006
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Paper Submission Deadline: October 2, 2005

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between  mathematics,
theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence.  This is the
ninth symposium in a series, which is sponsored by Annals of Mathematics
and Artificial Intelligence.  We seek submissions of recent results with
a particular emphasis on the  foundations of AI and mathematical methods
used in AI.  Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the
focus should be  on principled lessons learned from the development of
the application.  Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants
from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for
scientific exchange. The three-day symposium includes invited speakers,
presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions.


INVITED SPEAKERS

   o  Thomas Dean, Brown University, USA
   o  Carla Gomes, Cornell University, USA
   o  Jeffrey S. Rosenschein, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel


SPECIAL TOPIC SESSIONS

TBA


PAPER SUBMISSION:

Paper submission will be electronic via the submission link on the
symposium web site.  Papers, no more than (8) pages long, must be
submitted in PDF or PS format.  Fonts must be at least 10 point, and
either a single or double column format may be used.  The submission
deadline is October 2, 2005 (11:59PM EST). Papers will be reviewed by
members of the Program Committee.  Authors will be notified of
acceptance or rejection by October 31, 2005.  Final versions of accepted
papers, for inclusion in the conference electronic proceedings, are due
by November 21, 2005.  Note that papers may be submitted to the
Symposium even if submitted to other conferences or journals, because
the Symposium web site is not archival.

Full versions of a selected set of papers from the Symposium will be
included in a special volume of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial
Intelligence, published by Springer.  Authors of these selected papers
will be invited to submit their full version subject to refereeing at
the usual high standards of the journal and will receive more details
with the acceptance notice.

Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the program
chair, Shlomo Zilberstein <shlomo at cs.umass.edu>.
