AAAI will consist of a main technical track and four special technical tracks, AI and the Web, Computational Sustainability and AI (new!), Integrated Intelligence, and Physically Grounded AI, as well as Nectar Papers, highlighting significant AI results presented at our sister conferences in the past two years. The second iteration of the AAAI Symposium on Educational Advances on AI will be collocated with AAAI (see below for details). The AAAI-11 program will also include 16 half-day tutorials, 15 workshops, the AAAI Robotics Program, AAAI Poker Competition, and the Video Competition, Student Abstract Posters, the AAAI/SIGART Doctoral Consortium, and more!

AAAI is pleased to announce the continuation of its three special awards in 2002, and is currently seeking nominations for the 2002 AAAI Classic Paper Award, the AAAI Distinguished Service Award, and the AAAI Effective Expository Writing Award. The 2002 AAAI Classic Paper Award will be given to the author of the most influential paper(s) from the Third National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, held in 1983 in Washington, DC. The 2002 AAAI Distinguished Service Award will recognize one individual for extraordinary service to the AI community. Finally, the AAAI Effective Expository Writing Award will honor the author(s) of a high quality, effective piece of writing, accessible to the general public or to a broad AI audience (not just a subarea), written within the last two years. The contribution should be based on sound science, interesting ideas or systematic review, with nontrivial content, but the award is primarily for the exposition.

AAAI-98 Content-rich with traditions plus new additions … This year's Fifteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, (AAAI-98) offers a program as content-rich and varied as the field of AI itself. In keeping with tradition, there is a strong technical program of 144 papers spanning a wide range of fertile AI ground. Invited speakers this year will cover topics as diverse as AI in medicine in the twenty-first century, an AI program that writes Bachlike music, the limits of current approaches in natural language processing, Bayesian networks, machine learning, and the anthropomorphism of computers. Branching out into new territory, there will also be a panel of science fiction authors spinning tales and lessons of AI in the future. The conference, held in Madison, Wisconsin from July 26-30, 1998, will also be host to the ever-popular robot competition.
