==Scope==

Within the course of the last 50 years, Artificial Intelligence has
developed into a major field of research with a multitude of facets
and application areas. While, in general, Artificial Intelligence
research is driven by applica-tion needs, it is nevertheless a fact
that foundational questions and theoretical insights have always been
one of the driving forces behind its development. This includes the
quest for realising intelligent behaviour in artificial systems as
envisioned in the early days of AI research. But it also comprises
biological inspirations e.g. for robot design, artificial neural
networks, or emergent intelligence, as well as logical underpinnings
of automated deduc-tion and knowledge representation.

Indeed, formal and foundational aspects of artificial intelligence
are being studied in many sub areas in order to serve application
needs. It lies in the nature of such fundamental research that a
critical mass of different formal perspectives can generate a cross-
fertilization of ideas and applications. We therefore intend to bring
together researchers working on foundational aspects of Artificial
Intelligence across different communities, in order to stimulate an
exchange of ideas and methods between them.

The workshop is intended for researchers which contribute to the
mathematical,
logical,
statistical,
psychological,
linguistic,
cognitive,
philosophical,
biological,
and other foundations of artificial intelligence research.
