APPROACH OF THE SYMPOSIUM: The International Symposium on Artificial
Intelligence and Mathematics is the eighth of a biennial series. The
series was started by Martin Golumbic and the editorial board of
the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence serves as
the permanent Advisory Committee. The objective of the Symposium
is to foster interactions between mathematics, theoretical CS, and
artificial intelligence. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts around
100 participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a
unique forum for active scientific exchange. The Symposium includes
invited speakers, special topic sessions, and presentations of
submitted papers.
