IEA/AIE-98

The 11th International Conference on Industrial & Engineering
Applications of Artificial Intelligence & Expert Systems, will take
place in Benicassim, Castellon (Spain), June 1-4, 1998. This annual
conference on applied Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge
Based Systems (KBS) in industrial and engineering environments was
first held in Tennessee and then subsequently in South Carolina,
Hawaii, Paderborn (Germany), Edinburgh, Austin (Texas),
Melbourne (Australia) and, finally, in Fukuoka (Japan'96) and Atlanta
('97). Now, it visits Spain for the first time.

On this occasion the conference will focus on methodological aspects
in the development of KBS's, knowledge modeling and hybrid techniques
that integrate the symbolic and connectionist perspectives in
industrial applications of AI. Papers will be accepted either for
oral presentation or for poster sessions. All papers will be
published in full length.

PROCEEDINGS The Proceedings will be published in time for
distribution at the conference as a volume of the Springer Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence.

SCOPE

The IEA/AIE-98 Program Committee recognizes the complexity of the
real industrial world. To advance the applied perspective of AI we
need to examine the characteristics of the scenarios in which generic
tasks (such as identification, monitoring, diagnosis, prediction;
repair, control, supervision; design and planning) are found to be
adequate to the development of KBS's; then, more emphasis is needed
on methodology for the phases of development (knowledge modeling,
reduction process, development environments and prototype
implementation) and techniques (symbolic, connectionist or hybrid).
Finally, we need to evaluate the results using "real test-bed" and
refine again by means of learning. The essential aim of this
perspective for the 11th IEA/AIE conference is to reduce the distance
between the techniques for modeling and design of KBS's and the
engineering procedures normally employed in the analytic and
algorithmic perspectives of continuous and discrete systems theory.

CALL FOR INVITED SESSIONS

The Program Committee is soliciting proposals for invited sessions,
particularly in one of the above theme areas. Prospective organizers
should first contact the Program Co-Chair A.P. del Pobil at
[log in to unmask], as soon as possible, providing a title for
the invited session and including a brief statement of the purpose
as well as names of prospective authors if available. Each invited
session will consist of four/five papers, if more papers are
submitted, then the session can be split into two ones.

The organizer will be responsible for inviting authors, selecting
the four papers and submitting four copies of each paper to
A.P. del Pobil by November 7, 1997, at the address below. The papers
will be reviewed by only one member of the Program Committee
(contributed papers are reviewed by at least two members). In case an
invited paper is finally not accepted, it will be replaced by a
relevant contributed paper. The organizer will be invited to serve as
Chair for the invited session at the conference and will be granted
a reduced registration fee. Information about current invited
sessions can be found at our web site.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit five copies of papers, double spaced,
written in English, of up to 10 pages, including figures, tables and
references. The format should be A4 or 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper, in a
Roman font, 12 point in size, with a printing area of 15.3 X 24.2 cm2
(6.0 X 9.5 sq. inches). If possible, please make use of the
latex/plaintex style file available in our WWW site. In addition,
one sheet must be attached including: title, authors' names, a list
of five keywords, the topic(s) under which the paper fits the best
(including its code), the preferred presentation (oral or poster),
and the corresponding author information (name, postal and e-mail
address, phone and fax numbers). This page must also be sent by
email to [log in to unmask] before November 7, 1997.

All received papers will be reviewed by the Programme Committee.
Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for poster
sessions. All papers will be published in full length. Referees will
be asked to nominate papers for a selected set of relevant
contributions to the field of applied AI. These papers will be
announced at the Conference and all those nominated will be
considered for a post-conference publication in the International
Journal of Applied Intelligence.

Contributions must be sent to the Program Co-Chair Prof. Angel P. del
Pobil, at the address below.

LOCATION

Hotel Intur Orange
Benicassim, Castellon, Spain, June 1-4,1998.

Overlooking the sea, the eternal Mediterranean, Castellon has many
treasures to offer including scenes that make it a destination which
is visited by many tourists throughout year. Benicassim boasts
beaches and impressive mountains, placid sand banks, mountain
waterfalls, shady ravines, and jagged peaks which glisten againts the
clear blue sky. Experienced visitors know that June and September are
the best times to fully enjoy this location.

The Conference site, Hotel Intur Orange, is situated at 250 m. from
the best beach of Benicassim. It offers a new hotel conception with
excellent services and other free time options for your entertainment.
It has 415 rooms with central heating, air conditioning, complete
bathroom, telephone, terrace and satellite television. It also offers
cafeteria, restaurant, swimming pools, gardens, parking, tennis,
football field, mini golf, table tennis, disco and conventions rooms.
Fine shopping and dining possibilities can be found at walking
distance.

Located between Barcelona and Valencia, the province of Castellon
is bathed by the Mediterranean along its 112 km of coastline.
Castellon de la Plana, the capital, is located at 10 Km. from
Benicassim. It is a forward-looking city in which broad, modern
avenues and narrow streets and plazas from yesteryear combine to
form a special atmosphere. A walk around town is a pleasant
experience. On your stroll, you can find many pleasant surprises:
beautiful modernist buildings, modern shops, shady parks and
important Gothic and Renaissance monuments. With its deep cultural
roots, Castellon de la Plana celebrates its history with fiestas and
annual events throughout the year. A look towards the sea confirms
the Mediterranean style of Castellon de la Plana. Its carefully
attended beaches lay on both sides of the port through which a large
amount of exports are shipped each year, accounting for a substantial
part of the provincial economy, based mainly on ceramic tile
manufacturing, agriculture and tourism. The mild climate of the
coastal regions owes much to the sea and the protection from
cold northwest winds provided by the mountains. These two factors
have a decisive influence on the city's mean annual temperature
of 17°C., enabling outdoor activities to be practised throughout
the year.
