Electronic Transactions on Artificial Intelligence

Volume 3 - 1999, Section B

Section structure of the ETAI Volume for 1999

Please refer to the ETAI Junction page for links to incomplete sections and to articles that are still in the reviewing process.

A large part of the 1999 submissions were selections of articles from workshops, and we plan to have one section for each of those workshops, plus one section for articles that were individually submitted and not workshop based. The following sections are planned:

A: Individually submitted articles (incomplete at present)

B: Machine Intelligence Workshop (completed section)

C: KRUSE Workshop (Knowledge Retrieval, Use, and Storage for Efficiency)

D: IDS Workshop (Intelligent Dialogue Systems)

E: NRAC Workshop (Non-Monotonic Reasoning, Actions and Change)

Each section may in principle consist of one or more issues, although for the present year most sections will consist of one single issue. (All sections share the same ISSN number. Page numbering is consecutive within each section, so an article is uniquely identified by volume number, section letter, and page number).

The following tables contain links to the completed sections. By printing out and combining these files one can obtain her or his own copy of an issue, a section, or of the entire annual volume.

Reviewing and Publication Policy

The acceptance of articles to this Journal is decided after a process in several steps:

1. Publication (unrefereed) of the contribution as an E-Press article, in order to make it available for discussion, and posting it on the Internet.
2. Open review discussion during at least three months, as recorded in the interaction page.
3. Confidential refereeing by two or three qualified peers, leading a decision regarding acceptance.

Explanation of some of the links

The link labelled "Cover Page" leads to the early version(s) of the article that were published by the present E-Press in order to make the open review discussion possible. The cover page also contains the record of successive revisions of the article, if applicable. (In some cases the cover page only contains the final version of the article and not the preliminary one). The body of the article for the purpose of the ETAI issue has been obtained from the E-Press publication by removing its initial pages.

The link labelled "Interaction Page" leads to a page containing the record of ETAI's review discussion for the article. Additional questions or comments about an article are always welcome, also after its acceptance to the ETAI.

The links labelled "Preamble" and "Body" lead to the final version of the article, as published in the present Journal.
