The Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI)
is the leading conference in the Pacific Rim region for presentation of
research in Artificial Intelligence, including its applications to problems 
of social and economic importance. The objectives of PRICAI are:

 to provide a forum for the introduction and discussion of new research
 results, concepts, & technologies;

 to provide practising engineers exposure to and an evaluation of evolving
 research, tools, and practices;

 to provide the research community exposure to the problems of practical
 applications of AI; and

 to encourage the exchange of AI technologies and experience within Pacific
 Rim countries.

PRICAI 2000 attempts to meet the needs of a large and diverse constituency,
which includes researchers, practitioners, educators, and users. Topics of
