Daytona Beach, Florida, USA -- May 10-11, 1997
A
Postscript file is also available
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together active researchers in the
area of temporal representation and reasoning in Artificial Intelligence.
Through paper presentations and discussions, the participants will exchange,
compare, and contrast results in the area. The workshop is planned as a two
day event to immediately precede
FLAIRS-97 (Tenth Annual Florida Artificial
Intelligence Research Symposium, May 12-14). Workshop participants are also
encouraged to submit papers to FLAIRS and attend the conference.
The workshop will be conducted as a combination of paper presentations, a
poster session, invited talks and panel discussions.
The format will provide ample time for discussions and exchange of ideas.
Submission of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work
are invited for all areas of temporal representation and reasoning, including,
but not limited to:
-
temporal logics and ontologies
-
temporal constraint reasoning
-
temporal languages and architectures
-
continuous versus discrete time
-
point versus interval representations
-
expressive power versus tractability
-
belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
-
temporal databases and knowledge bases
-
temporal learning and discovery
-
reasoning about actions and events
-
time and nonmonotonism
-
time and constraints
-
time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, qualitative physics,...)
-
multiple agents, communication, and synchronization
-
applications
To maximize interaction among participants, the size of the workshop will be
limited. Accepted papers will be invited for full presentation or a poster
presentation. All submissions must be received by December 5, 1996.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the first author (or
designated author) by February 19, 1997. Prospective participants should submit
5 copies of a 6-8 page paper (indicating the selected areas) to:
