ASAI 2002 seeks original contributions in a wide spectrum of applications
of
the Artificial Intelligence, ranging from state-of-the-art academic
research
to industrial and business  applications having a significant impact. The
symposium will consist of invited talks and paper sessions presenting both
mature work and new ideas in research and applications.

Submissions can be full papers addressing any topic of artificial
intelligence or short papers describing ongoing research projects at
academic
or development environments. An international program  committee using
criteria appropriate to their category will review the papers. Papers may
be
accepted for presentation as talks in sessions. Submissions are due on May
6th 2002.  Delayed submissions will most likely be rejected.

ASAI 2002 will be part of JAIIO 2002, the 31st Argentine Meeting on
Computer
Science and Operational Research, organized by the Argentine Computer
Science
and Operational Research Society. The JAIIO Conference will be held on
September 9-13, including other  symposia, tutorials and student contests.

The submissions of papers must follow the LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html ). All contributions, of
maximum 12 pages length for full papers and of 6 pages for short ones,
should
be submitted by e-mail in ghostview-readable Postscript or PDF. For
diffusion
reason, papers in English are strongly preferred, but in Spanish they will
be
also acceptable. A separated e-mail must be sent (in ASCII) with the title
of
the paper, the abstract, name and filiation/s of the authors (including
complete address, e-mail account and phone/fax number. Please, specify
corresponding author.), a maximum of five keywords and the topics (at most
three) which the work classifies. The format for the camera-ready copy
will
be informed together with the acceptance letter.

Receipt of a submission will be acknowledged immediately to the
corresponding
author.
Electronic submissions must be sent to
