Submission Instructions

Semantics

Submissions for the workshop should address or at least be related to one of the questions listed <link objectives.html>here. However, other approaches to anticipatory adaptive behavior are encouraged as well. The workshop is not limited to one particular type of anticipatory learning system or a particular representation of anticipations. However, the learning system should learn its anticipatory representation online rather than being provided by a model of the world beforehand. Nonetheless, background knowledge of a typical environment can be incorporated (and is probably inevitably embodied in the provided sensors, actions, and the coding in any adaptive system).

Since this is a full day workshop, we hope to be able to provide more time for presentations and discussions. In that way, the advantages and disadvantages of the different learning systems should become clearer. It is also aimed for several discussion sessions in which anticipatory influences will be discussed in a broader sense.

Syntactics

Papers will be reviewed for acceptance by the program committee and the organizers. Papers should be submitted electronically to one of the organizers via email in pdf or ps format. Electronic submission via email to one of the organizers is strongly encouraged. If you cannot submit your contribution electronically, please contact one of the organizers. Submitted papers should be maximally 10 pages long in 10pt, one-column format. Please use the LNCS Springer-Verlag style for your document preparation (look here for instructions). Submission deadline is the 31st of March 2004.

Dependent on the quality and number of contributions we hope to be able to publish Post-Workshop proceedings as a Springer LNAI volume (as was done for the previous workshop).
