ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALLS FOR PAPERS
The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation
of Behaviour (AISB) is pleased to announce its forthcoming Convention
and to call for papers and participation in the symposia which will
constitute the event.
The AISB'99 Convention will be held in Edinburgh between 6th and 9th
April 1999, inclusive, hosted by Edinburgh College of Art and the
Division of Informatics, University of Edinburgh. It will consist of
13 workshops and symposia on a wide range of themes in Artificial
Intelligence and Cognitive Science. An underlying theme of the
Convention this year is the study of creativity, though not all of
the events include a creative element.
Dates: from 6th April 1999 until 9th April 1999 inclusive.
Location: Edinburgh College of Art &
Division of Informatics, University of Edinburgh.
Format: fourteen serial/parallel symposia on specialist
