UAI-2000: The Sixteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence

Stanford University, Stanford, CA

June 30 - July 3, 2000


As we approach the new millenium, advances in the theory and practice of artificial intelligence have pushed intelligent systems to the forefront of the information technology sector. At the same time, uncertainty managament has come to play a central role in the development of these systems. The Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial intelligence, organized annually under the auspices of the Association for Uncertainty in AI (AUAI), is the premier international forum for exchanging results on the use of principled uncertain-reasoning methods in intelligent systems.

The Sixteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial, UAI-2000, will be held from June 30 - July 3, 2000, at Stanford University. The main technical program will be run from July 1-3, with UAI's regular tutorial program and several workshops to be held on June 30. As in 1998 in Madison, WI, this year the conference will be co-located with the International Conference on Machine Learning and the Conference on Compuational Learning theory.

Registrants to any of COLT, ICML, or UAI will be allowed to attend, without additional cost, the technical sessions of the other two conferences.

Please check the UAI-2000 home page regularly for updates on conference details, submission requirements, etc.
