\centerline{Workshops in AI sponsored by AAAI}

AAAI will sponsor workshops in particular areas of AI.  So far more
than 15 have been sponsored.  The format is not prescribed except that
this program does not sponsor large conferences.

Here are some policies.

Up to \$10K can be approved per workshop.

\disleft 20truept:{2.}:
No honoraria for speakers or overhead to institutions will be paid.

\disleft 20truept:{3.}:
Any workshop emphasizing commercial technology must be neutral
among the suppliers of relevant technology, e.g. people from the
different suppliers should be contacted and should have equal opportunity
to submit papers.

\disleft 20truept:{4.}:
Proposals should be sent to John McCarthy.

\disleft 20truept:{}:
Electronic mail to JMC@SU-AI.STANFORD.EDU is preferred, but U.S.

publication.

\disleft 25truept:{8.}:
After the workshop is finished there should be a report suitable
for publication in AI Magazine.

financial obligations that may be incurred by workshop organizers nor any
