Leo,    (01)

Thanks for the positive repsonse. This is great!    (02)

Kurt is on vacation right now. Let's start working once we returns.    (03)

I look forward to our collaboration!    (04)

Best regards,
PPY

>>>Call for Participation and Papers:
>>>Knowledge Representation and Ontology
>>>for Autonomous Systems    (010)

>>>A Symposium at the 2004 AAAI Spring Symposium
>>>March 22-24, 2004
>>>Stanford University    (011)

>>>For an autonomous system to behave appropriately in an uncertain
>>>environment, many researchers feel that the system must have an internal
>>>representation (world model) of entities, events, and situations that it
>>>perceives in the world. The term “autonomous systems’ in this context
>>>refers to embodied intelligent systems that can operate for extended
>>>periods of time without human supervision. A major challenge for these
>>>systems is maintaining an accurate internal representation of pertinent
>>>information about the environment.    (012)

>>>A large body of work exists in various knowledge representation,
>>>ontology, and data fusion areas, yet relatively little has been applied
>>>to real-time world modeling in autonomous systems. This symposium’s
>>>objective is to bring together colleagues in the autonomous systems,
>>>knowledge representation, ontology, and data fusion communities to
>>>explore leveraging existing knowledge technologies to benefit autonomous
>>>systems. Some topics of interest include:    (013)

>>>o Applying knowledge representations to autonomous systems for
>>>representing parametric, spatial, dynamic and symbolic knowledge
>>>o Exploring the usefulness of different types of ontologies for
>>>autonomous systems
>>>o Representing a priori and in situ knowledge, value judgments, state
>>>information, history, plans, entities, events, situations, intent, task
>>>knowledge, and self-knowledge
>>>o Exploring which knowledge technologies work best for different
>>>challenges in autonomous systems, including corresponding performance
>>>measures
>>>o Exploring the requirements that subsystems (e.g., sensors, learning
>>>modules, planners, and operator control units) place on knowledge
>>>representations
>>>o Understanding and formalizing the interaction between disparate
>>>knowledge representations (e.g., images, maps, classes, and
>>>relationships) that provide complementary information about the same
>>>object or event
>>>o Understanding the role of knowledge in model-based perception and control
>>>o Exploring approaches to formalize the autonomous system’s internal
>>>representation
>>>o Exploring means to measure of the quality of knowledge within
>>>autonomous systems
>>>o Exploring the reusability of knowledge among disparate autonomous systems
>>>o Determining how data fusion technologies (which support autonomous
>>>system sensing capabilities) can be assisted by using knowledge technologies    (014)

>>>Submission Information
>>>
>>>The symposium will consist of formal paper presentations describing
>>>current research or visionary approaches, as well as interdisciplinary
>>>discussion sessions focusing on topics areas related to knowledge
>>>technologies for autonomous systems. Those interested in participating
>>>are invited to submit either a full paper (5000 words maximum) or a 1-2
