Call for Participation
AAAI/KDD/UAI2002 Joint Workshop on
Real Time Decision Support and Diagnosis Systems
Monday, 29 July, 2002, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
http://www.kddresearch.org/KDD/Workshops/RTDSDS-2002/
While 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 one or more invited talks 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 and discussion sessions
* Bruce D'Ambrosio (Oregon State University will give a talk on the
state-of-the-art of Real-Time Probabilistic Decision Support and
Diagnosis technologies (45~60 minutes)
* Fabio Gagliardi Cozman (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) will lead a
discussion session on embedded AI (60 minutes)
* Eugene Santos Jr. (University of Connecticut) will lead a discussion
session on Distributed and Cooperative Problem Solving.
* Marek J. Druzdzel () will lead a session on 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* Attach a PostScript, PDF, or Word file (or .zip, .gz, or .bz2
archive) to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
