TIME-98:
Fifth International Workshop on Temporal
Representation and Reasoning

Sanibel Island, Florida, USA
May 15-16, 1998

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together active
researchers in the area of temporal representation and
reasoning in Artificial Intelligence. Previous workshops
have been successful at bridging the gaps between theoretical
and applied research in temporal reasoning.

Workshop Highlights:

* Two invited speakers:

James Allen, University of Rochester, USA
Bernhard Nebel, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitaet, Germany

* Two full days of technical sessions

* Exotic tropical surroundings on Sanibel Island

* FLAIRS-98 Conference Immediately Follows
(contact http://www-cse.uta.edu/~cook/flairs98.html)

TIME-98 will be conducted as a combination of paper presentations,
an extended poster session, and invited talks. Submission of high
quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are
invited for all areas of temporal representation and reasoning,
including, but not limited to:

temporal logics and ontologies
temporal constraint reasoning
temporal languages and architectures
expressive power versus tractability
belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
temporal databases
temporal learning and discovery
reasoning about actions and events
time and nonmonotonism
time in problem solving (e.g. diagnosis, scheduling,...)
time in multiple agents, communication, and synchronization
other applications

To maximize interaction among participants, the size of the
workshop will be limited. Accepted papers will be invited for
full presentation or a poster presentation. All submissions
must be received by December 8, 1997. Prospective participants
should submit a 6-8 page paper (indicating the selected areas),
preferably electronically. To do so, send a postscript file
(generated from a .dvi file) via anonymous ftp to the following
site:

ftp://cs.fit.edu/pub/time98

Alternatively, send 5 hard copies of your submission to:

Robert Morris or Lina Khatib

PUBLICATION

All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.
As well, a selected subset of the papers will be invited for
inclusion (subject to refereeing) in a book or in a special issue
of a journal.
