AUDIENCE

This conference addresses a large and diverse constituency of Artificial 
Intelligence
practitioners, researchers, educators, and users.


The Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI)
is the leading conference in the Pacific Rim region for presentation of
research in Artificial Intelligence, including its applications to problems
of social and economic importance. The objectives of PRICAI are:

   to provide a forum for the introduction and discussion of new research
   results, concepts, & technologies;

   to provide practising engineers exposure to and an evaluation of evolving
   research, tools, and practices;

   to provide the research community exposure to the problems of practical
   applications of AI; and

   to encourage the exchange of AI technologies and experience within Pacific
   Rim countries.

PRICAI 2000 attempts to meet the needs of a large and diverse constituency,
which includes researchers, practitioners, educators, and users. Topics of
PRICAI 2000 include:
