THEME
The world's oldest AI society, the Society for the Study of Artificial
Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), will hold its
Tenth Biennial International Conference at The University of
Sheffield.
The past few years have seen an increasing tendency for
diversification in research into Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive
Science and Artificial Life. A number of approaches are being
pursued, based variously on symbolic reasoning, connectionist systems
and models, behaviour-based systems, and ideas from complex dynamical
systems. Each has its own particular insight and philosophical
position.
This variety of approaches appears in all areas of Artificial
Intelligence. There are both symbolic and connectionist natural
language processing, both classical and behaviour-based vision
research, for instance.
While purists from each approach may claim that all the problems of
cognition can in principle be tackled without recourse to other
methods, in practice (and maybe in theory, also) combinations of
methods from the different approaches (hybrid methods) are more
successful than a pure approach for certain kinds of problems. The
committee feels that there is an unrealised synergy between the
various approaches that an AISB conference may be able to
explore. Thus, the focus of the tenth AISB Conference is on such
hybrid methods.
The AISB conference is a single track conference lasting three days,
with a two day tutorial and workshop programme preceding the main
technical event, and around twenty high calibre papers will be
presented in the technical sessions. Five invited talks by respected
and entertaining world class researchers complete the programme. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in book form at the
conference itself, making it a forum for rapid dissemination of
research results.
The preliminary programme for the conference is attached below. Note
that the organisers reserve the right to alter the programme as
circumstances dictate, though every effort will be made to adhere to
the provisional timings and calendar of events given below.

SHEFFIELD:
Sheffield is one of the friendliest cities in Britain and is situated
well having the best and closest surrounding countryside of any major
city in the UK. The Peak District National Park is only minutes
away. It is a good city for walkers, runners, and climbers. It has
two theatres, the Crucible and Lyceum. The Lyceum, a beautiful
Victorian theatre, has recently been renovated. Also, the city has
three 10 screen cinemas. There is a library theatre which shows more
artistic films. The city has a large number of museums many of which
demonstrate Sheffield's industrial past, and there are a number of
Galleries in the City, including the Mapping Gallery and Ruskin. A
number of important ancient houses are close to Sheffield such as
Chatsworth House. The Peak District National Park is a beautiful site
for visiting and rambling upon. There are large shopping areas in the
City Sheffield is served by a 'supertram' system: the line to the
Meadowhall shopping and leisure complex is already open.
The University of Sheffield's Halls of Residence are situated on the
western side of the city in a leafy residential area described by John
Betjeman as ``the prettiest suburb in England''. Halifax Hall is
centred on a local Steel Baron's house, dating back to 1830 and set in
extensive grounds. It was acquired by the University in 1830 and
converted into a Hall of Residence for women with the addition of a
new wing. The Botanical Gardens and BROOMHILL area are a stone's throw
away.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT SHEFFIELD:
Sheffield Computer Science Department has a strong programme in
Cognitive Systems and has a large reseach group (AINN) studying
Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks. It is strongly connected
to the University's Institute for Language, Speech and Hearing
(ILASH). ILASH has its own machines and support staff, and academic
staff attached to it from nine departments. Sheffield Psychology
Department has the Artificial Intelligence Vision Research Unit
(AIVRU) which was founded in 1984 to coordinate a large
industry/university Alvey research consortium working on the
development of computer vision systems for autonomous vehicles and
robot workstations. Sheffield Philosophy Department has the Hang Seng
Centre for Cognitive Studies, founded in 1992, which runs a
workshop/conference series on a two-year cycle on topics of
interdisciplinary interest. (1992-4: 'Theory of mind'; 1994- 6:
'Language and thought'.) The Department of Automatic Control and
Systems Engineering is conducting research into Neural Networks for
Medical and other applications.
AI and Cognitive Science researchers at Sheffield include Guy Brown,
Peter Carruthers, Malcolm Crawford, Joe Downs, Phil Green, John
Frisby, Robert Gaizauskas, Rob Harrison, Mark Hepple, Zhe Ma, John
Mayhew, Jim McGregor, Paul Mc Kevitt, Bob Minors, Rod Nicolson, Tony
Prescott, Peter Scott, Steve Renals, Noel Sharkey, and Yorick Wilks.
VENUE
The venue for registration and all conference events is:

TRANSPORT
Sheffield is in the centre of Britain and is easily reached through
Manchester International Airport. There are frequent trains from
Manchester to Sheffield. Also, the train from London is around 2 and
1/2 hours. There are also airports at Leeds/Bradford, Midlands,
Birmingham and Liverpool.
FOR ANYONE COMING FROM EACL-95 (DUBLIN) THERE ARE FLIGHTS FROM DUBLIN
TO **MANCHESTER**, LEEDS, LIVERPOOL, LONDON, MIDLANDS ON RYANAIR, AER
LINGUS, BRITISH MIDLANDS.
Halifax Hall is one mile from Sheffield's city centre, and is easily
reached from Sheffield Station by bus or taxi, and from Manchester
International Airport and train to Sheffield. The # 50 bus from the
station will drop you off at the Botanical Gardens but we recommend
taking a taxi for around 3.50 pounds if you have heavy cases. Full
travel details will be sent on registration.
ACCOMMODATION
Single and double room accommodation has been reserved for conference
delegates in Halifax Hall. Delegates preferring to stay at a hotel
must book their own accommodation, though names of nearby hotels are
available on request.
COMPUTER SERVICES
It is intended that the Department of Computer Science will provide on
site FTP/WWW and E-mail services to delegates.
PUBLISHERS
A number of publishers of AI and Cognitive Science books have already
requested space for Book/other Exhibitions at the conference.
NEARBY FACILITIES
Broomhill neighbourhood nearby contains banks, banks, hairdressers,
bookshops, and the Botanical Gardens is a stone's throw away.
PARKING
There is ample free parking for approx. 50 cars in the vicinity of
Halifax Hall.
