Workshops

General Information

The Program Committee invites proposals for workshops, to be held at KI-2002. The workshops are intended to offer the opportunity for the in-depth discussion of specific topics and the informal exchange of novel ideas in an inspiring atmosphere. Workshop proposals from all subfields of Artificial Intelligence are invited. Proposals reflecting the special focus of KI-2002 - multiagent systems, semantic web, and knowledge discovery - are particularly encouraged.

Workshops may be held in German or English. Workshop organizers may limit the number of participants. Hard copies of the working notes will be made available at the main conference. To cover costs, these hard copies will be charged in addition to the main conference registration fee. Workshop organizers should also consider the possibility to electronically publish their working notes. Note that workshop participants and organizers must register for the main conference.
