Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence Research International Workshop FAIR '91, Smolenice, Czechoslovakia, September 8-13, 1991. Proceedings

This volume contains 6 invited lectures and 13 submitted contributions to the scientific programme of the international workshop Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence Research, FAIR '91, held at Smolenice Castle, Czechoslovakia, September 8-12, 1991, under the sponsorship of the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence, ECCAI. FAIR'91, the first of an intended series of international workshops, addresses issues which belong to the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence considered as a discipline focused on concise theoretical description of some aspects of intelligence by toolsand methods adopted from mathematics, logic, and theoretical computer science. The intended goal of the FAIR workshops is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and results in a domain where theoretical models play an essential role. It is felt that such theoretical studies, their development and their relations to AI experiments and applications have to be promoted in the AI research community.
