K A R P - 95
Second International Symposium on Knowledge
Acquisition, Representation and Processing (KARP-95)
September 27 - September 30, 1995
Auburn University Conference Center
Auburn, Alabama
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sponsored by: Auburn University, Pennsylvania State University, University
of Technology (Rzeszow, Poland), Polish National Academy of Sciences
(Committee for Scientific Research), ORNL (Oak Ridge)-pending, U.S. Bureau
of Mines (Tuscaloosa)-pending, in pending cooperation with: Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM), American Chemical Society (ACS), Institute for
Electronic and Electrical Engineering (IEEE), and International Society
for Computer Applications (ISCA).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Symposium
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KARP is an international forum for presentation and discussion of inter-
disciplinary research on knowledge acquisition, representation, and
processing, as well as recent advances on discipline independent tools
for realizing large-scale applications of knowledge based systems. The
purpose of the symposium is to identify challenging problems common to
many disciplines that must be solved to realize future knowledge and
information systems, and to shape future directions of research by
soliciting and reviewing high quality, applied and theoretical research
findings. An important part of the symposium is the provision for one-on-
one interactions provided by an intimate setting, poster sessions and
demonstrations of operational systems.
Focus
~~~~~
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following
areas. Papers should be focused on particular aspects of the symposium

Paper and Poster Submission
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Symposium Proceedings will contain extended abstracts (two to
three single space pages) of accepted papers and posters. Presentations
will be selected on the basis of the extended abstracts. Camera ready
complete papers, not to exceed 5,000 words, will be due on the first
day of the symposium and then judged by the program committee for
inclusion in a special issue of an appropriate international journal.
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts to the Program Chair
at the following address:

Tel: +1 (205) 759-9432
FAX: +1 (205) 759-9440
E-Mail: karr@ai.usbm.gov
Extended abstracts for papers and posters should reach the program
chair by December 1, 1994. Authors must send either six (6) copies
of each extended abstract, or an email copy, accompanied by a cover
letter containing a list of all authors, their affiliations,
telephone numbers, electronic mail addresses, and fax numbers. All
submissions will be reviewed and judged with respect to quality and
relevance.
