 KBCS is the premium International AI Conference held in India. 
 Don't miss out on it! 
 ================================================================

	The KBCS series of conferences, held every two years, is intended to
    act as a forum for promoting interaction among researchers in the field
    of Artificial Intelligence in India and abroad. The schedule includes
    a three-day conference on KBCS from Dec 19-21, and one day of tutorials,
    on the 18th. Papers are invited on substantial, original and unpublished
    research on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence, including, but not
    limited to those given below.

       This year, ICON-2002, International Conference on Natural Language
    Processing, will be held concurrently with KBCS-2002. Authors may,
    therefore, choose to submit papers focusing on Natural Language
    Processing (NLP) to ICON-2002. KBCS-2002 will also consider NLP papers
    provided they have substantial AI content. The programme committee may
    shift some papers between these two conferences based on content and
    suitability.

    Format of Submission:
    ---------------------
	Papers should be in English, not exceeding 5000 words (including
    figures and references). Papers should include an abstract of about
    100-200 words. Papers outside the specified length are subject to
    rejection without review. Since reviewing will be "blind", the authors'
    names and affiliations along with the main area of the paper should be
    given only on a separate cover sheet. Authors should also exercise
    care to see that there are no indirect clues to the identity of the
    author or the institution (e.g. self-citations reading 'in our earlier
    work cited below' ... etc)

	Submissions should be in electronic form and can be in any of the
    following formats: PDF, Latex or Microsoft Word (RTF format). Papers
    may be submitted by E-mail or via the web at the URL given. Those who
    are unable to make electronic submissions may send four hard copies of
    the paper. Papers selected for the conference will be published in the
    proceedings.


    Call for Tutorials:
    -------------------
	Proposals are invited for conference tutorials. Tutorials can be of
    half-day or full-day duration. The proposal should be presented in the
    form of a 200-word abstract, one page topical outline of the content
    and bio-data of the speakers, including their qualifications relating
    to the tutorial content.
