SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Joint Workshop on Real-Time Decision Support and Diagnosis Systems
- National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)
- Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) SIGKDD
Conference on Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD)
- International Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI)
Mon 29 Jul 2002
Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA
http://www.kddresearch.org/KDD/Workshops/RTDSDS-2002/
As AI methodologies are being applied towards increasingly realistic
domains that require timely responses, real-time systems are coming to
incorporate decision-making tools that require more intelligent
capabilities. Many real-world intelligent systems call for autonomous
intelligent agents acting in the face of uncertain knowledge and
limited computational resources. Real-time decision support and
diagnosis systems are two such important application domains.
---Topics
Active research topics that are relevant to real-time decision
support and diagnosis include:
- real-time expert systems
- embedded intelligent diagnosis agents
- anytime uncertain reasoning algorithms and flexible computation
- cost estimation for resource-bounded computation
- decision-theoretic planning and deliberative real-time
artificial intelligence
- real-time Bayesian network inference and learning techniques
- real-time algorithms for scheduling and situated planning
- real-time sensor fusion and situation assessment
- real-time knowledge discovery in databases (KDD)
---Format
The one day workshop will include invited talks and tutorials on
state-of-the-art research problems and methodologies, presentations
by selected participants, and a panel and open discussion sessions
on key topics.
---Invited Talks, Tutorials, and Discussion Sessions
* Bruce D'Ambrosio (Oregon State University): invited talk
State-of-the-art Real-Time Probabilistic Decision Support
and Diagnosis technologies (45-60 minutes)
* Michael C. Horsch (University of Saskatchewan): invited talk
Flexible computation
* Fabio Gagliardi Cozman (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil): discussion
Embedded AI
* Eugene Santos Jr. (University of Connecticut): discussion
Distributed and Cooperative Problem Solving
* Marek J. Druzdzel (University of Pittsburgh):
Topics related to Diagnosis, Real-time Inference, and Sensor Fusion
---Attendance
The workshop will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in
the area of uncertain reasoning (UAI), real-time artificial
intelligence (RTAI), and real-time knowledge discovery in databases
(KDD). Participation will be based on submitted research summaries.
We anticipate participation by 25-50 people at the workshop.
---Paper Submissions
We encourage submissions containing original theoretical and applied
concepts in real-time decision support and diagnosis systems.
Experimental results are also encouraged, especially on fielded
applications, even if they are only preliminary. We therefore invite
two categories of paper submissions:
- research papers
* should not exceed 12 pages, including title page
* due Fri 15 March 2002
- short summaries (including position papers)
* should not exceed 2 pages
* due Fri 29 March 2002
We request that authors prepare papers in the standard AAAI format.
Papers should be submitted in PostScript, PDF, or Microsoft Word
97/2000 file format. Electronic submissions are preferred, but both
types of papers may be submitted by ONE OF the following three options:
* E-mail a URL pointer to the paper to rtdsds-2002 at www.kddresearch.org
* Attach a PostScript, PDF, or Word file (or .zip, .gz, or .bz2
archive) to rtdsds-2002 at www.kddresearch.org
* Mail 5 hard copies printed on 8.5" x 11" or A4 paper with at least
1-inch margins on all sides.
All submissions should be sent to rtdsds-2002 at www.kddresearch.org
