PACES/SPICIS'97: Second Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------- The Pacific Asian Conference on Expert Systems and the Singapore International Conference on Intelligent Systems are both biennial international events which focus on intelligent systems and their applications. These two events have been combined for the 3rd offering in 1997. The objectives of the PACES/SPICIS O97 conference are to promote research and development in the areas of intelligent systems in: -providing a forum for the introduction and discussion of new research results and technologies -encouraging the exchange of ideas and experiences in the development of artificial intelligence applications -providing a forum for practitioners to review and evaluate new results, tools and methods in the areas of intelligent systems development -providing a forum for researchers to become exposed to practical problems in the development of intelligent systems This conference is designed to fulfil the needs of a diverse body of attendees, including: researchers, practitioners/developers, users, educators, system managers, and product vendors. The focus of the conference is on discovering and exploiting new opportunities afforded by global networking and the internet using intelligent computing techniques through "Intelligence in and on the Information Superhighway" The conference will include: Tutorials, Technical Sessions of Invited, Oral and Poster papers and an Exhibition of Vendor Products. ------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Papers describing research results, theory, applications and tutorial material related to intelligent systems may be submitted for the conference. The conference will combine presentations from industrial, academic as well as research organisations. Proposals for Tutorials and Panels are also invited. Topics of interest include: - very large databases - intelligent navigation tools and techniques - intelligent executive information systems - distributed intelligent agents - user interfaces - distributed expert systems - distant ICAI learning - decision support systems - neural networks - fuzzy systems - genetic algorithms - multimedia systems - image and voice processing - virtual systems - database mining - case-based reasoning - other related topics of interest ----------------------------------------------------- Co-Organised by School of Applied Science, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU) Institute of Systems Science, National University of Singapore (NUS) Japan-Singapore AI Centre, Information Technology Institute, Singapore (ITI) Co-Sponsored by National Computer Board (NCB) Singapore Computer Society (AI Chapter) (SCS) Institution of Electrical Engineers,UK (IEE) In Cooperation with American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) Korean Expert Systems Society (KESS) Korean Advanced Institute for Science & Technology (KAIST) Chinese Association of Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) Chinese Association of Automation (CAA) -- Agricultural Engineering Chapter - Pattern Recognition & Machine Intelligence Chapter International Steering Committee Dr Juzar Motiwalla, ISS, Singapore (Chairman) Professor Harcharan Singh, NTU, Singapore Dr Francis Yeoh, ITI, Singapore Professor Jae Kyu Lee, KAIST, Korea Professor Riichiro Mizoguchi, Osaka Univ, Japan Professor Fan-Lun Xiong, Academia Sinica, China PACES/SPICIS '97 Programme Committee Dan Patterson, ISS, Singapore (Chairman) J T Buchanan, Strathclyde Univ, UK Chan Tak-Wai, NCU, Taiwan Aysegul Cuhadar, Gaziantep Univ, Turkey Fumio Hattori, NTT, Japan Hiroshi Motoda, Osaka Univ, Japan Ko Chi Chung, NUS, Singapore Khoong Chan Meng, ITI, Singapore Masahiro Hori, IBM, Japan Michel Pasquier, NTU, Singapore Quek Hiok Chai, NTU, Singapore Barry Shepherd, ISS, Singapore Tan Ah Hwee, ISS, Singapore Tan Sek Wah, ITI, Singapore Tan You Tong, ITI, Singapore Takao Terano, Tsukuba Univ, Japan Austin Tate, Edinburgh Univ, UK Stephen Smoliar, Xerox Parc, USA Yoshiyuki Koseki, NEC, Japan PACES/SPICIS '97 Organising Committee Graham Leedham, NTU, Singapore (Chairman) Chee Chean Wee, ITI, Singapore Vijay Sagar, Essex Univ, UK/NTU, Singapore Jacqueline M L Tan, NTU, Singapore Centre for Continuing Education, NTU, Singapore ----------------------------------------------- Submissions of Papers, Tutorials and Panels: Original full paper (2000-5000 words) due: 15 July 1996 extended till 30th July 1996 Author notification: 30 September 1996 Full Cameral Ready papers due: 15 November 1996 Tutorial and Panel Proposals due: 16 August 1996 Three copies of an original full paper (2000-5000 words), for oral or poster presentation, with all authors names and affiliations and the contact information (fax number, telephone number & email address) of the lead author plus a short abstract of approximately 250 words, keywords and type of submission, must reach the conference secretariat at the address given below by 15 July 1996.
