AUSTRALIAN APPLICATIONS OF AI SYMPOSIUM
8th DECEMBER 1999
Coogee Beach Hotel, Sydney, Australia
(URL: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~ai99)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The first Australian Applications of AI Symposium will be
held in conjunction with AI99. The Applications Symposium,
unlike the academic streams, is created to focus
specifically on successful AI applications. The purpose of
the symposium is to provide a forum for industry
practitioners to learn about the power and applicability of
selected AI techniques and share experience on the,
applicability, development and deployment of intelligent
systems in industry. It is anticipated that the symposium
will be hosted on the first day of the conference with a
significant proportion of participants from industry.
Two types of papers are solicited: applications and tool
evaluations. Application papers (approximately 4000 words
each) should highlight the pragmatic issues surfacing in the
commercial exploitation of AI and must address one or more
of the following issues in depth:
ú Cost justification & business benefits
ú Technical Architecture
ú Justification for the choice of AI tool/technique(s)
ú Practical knowledge acquisition
ú Obstacles in introducing, engineering and deploying AI
application(s)
ú Organisational impact
ú Evaluation
ALL types of AI/KBS/ES applications will be considered.
Papers on data mining and applications in risk assessment or
fraud detection are especially welcome.
Papers on the evaluation of one or more AI tools are also
solicited. Such papers (up to 5,000 words each) will be
assessed on the comprehensiveness of its coverage e.g.
ú tool's key features and robustness
ú product comparisons
ú strength and weaknesses
ú applications
ú interfacing
ú product support
ú user experience
Papers will be reviewed by AI practitioners and/or member(s)
of the Program Committee. Application papers, due to their
very nature, may contain commercial-in-confidence
information and therefore authors are strongly advised to
obtain clearance from their organisation (or their client)
prior to the submission of the paper. Accepted papers will
be bound in a Symposium Proceedings (separate from the AI
Conference Proceedings) to be distributed to participants on
the day.
