>
> 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.
