CALL FOR PAPERS

The Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a major annual
event which concentrates on research and development of AI echnologies and their
applications in areas of scientific, social, and economic importance for
countries in the Asia-Pacific region, but which has also drawn participants from
North America and Europe. AI'99 will be the twelfth, and will be held from 6
December to 10 December, 1999 in Sydney, Australia and organized by the
University of New South Wales, which is one of the largest AI research
institutions in Australia. 

The objective of AI'99 is to promote research and development of AI by: 
 * providing a forum for the dissemination and discussion
   of new research results, concepts, and technologies; 
 * providing practitioners exposure to and an opportunity
   to evaluate the emerging research, tools, and practices; 
 * providing the research community a strong appreciation of
   the practical constraints that are commonly encountered
   in the engineering of AI systems.
