Bulletin #3, May 2006
50 Years Artificial Intelligence
This year, the Artificial Intelligence community celebrates the golden anniversary of the 1956 Dartmouth Conference that marks the beginning of AI as a research field.One the celebrations takes place in Bremen, Germany on 17 June, 2006. Besides Marvin Minsky, several ECCAI Fellows will give speeches on the past and future of AI. The speakers include Aaron Sloman, Wolfgang Bibel, Joerg Siekmann, and Wolfgang Wahlster. Visit the 50 Years AI Symposium website!
Live streaming video of the talks will be available on 17 June via 50yearsAI.informatik.uni-bremen.de

There
were 501 full paper submisssions and 49 poster submissions. The
programme committed decided to accept 131 full papers and 75 posters.
The acceptance rate for full papers is of 26,1%.
Submissions were received from 43 different countries and accepted papers are from 25 countries. In comparison with ECAI 2004, a strong increase in the relative number of submissions from Distributed AI/Agents and Cognitive modelling. Knowledge Representation & Reasoning, traditionally strong in Europe, remains the biggest area of ECAI 2006.
The ECAI-06 best paper award, sponsored by Elsevier, goes to a machine learning paper : A Real Generalization of Discrete AdaBoost but Richard Nock and Frank Nielsen. Congratulations to the authors!
The ECAI-06 best poster award, sponsored by IOS Press, will be decided after the poster session in Riva Del Garda. The ten best papers are invited to a fast track of the Artificial Intelligence Journal.
There will be four invited talks :
Socially Inteligent Robots by Cynthia Breazeal
Managing diversity in knowledge by Fausto Giunchiglia
The truth about defaults by Hector Levesque
Getting answers on the go by Wolfgang Walhster
