Proposals--for North American locations only (in accordance with the IJCAI practice of alternating between North America and other parts of the world; IJCAI-87 will be held in Milan, Italy)--should be sent by 1 August 1985 to Don Walker, IJCAII Secretary-Treasurer, Bell Communications Research, 435 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960. Note that AAAI will cosponsor the conference and that the AAAI Office will coordinate local arrangements activities and support the local committee. Proposals should respond to the following criteria, which were developed by the IJCAII Trustees to govern site selection: 1. Local AI Group Support: strength of local AI activity; quality and breadth of the proposed local arrangements group; potential beneficial impact of an IJCAI on local activity. 2. Site Accessibility: ease of access for the international AI community via air and train transportation; convenient access to social centers. 3. Conference Facilities: ability to accommodate 5,000-10,000 people, with a hall for plenary sessions that can hold the full number and 5-6 rooms for 1,000-2,000 each. 4. Residences and Catering: a range of accommodations from dormitories to good quality hotels in sufficient quantities and proximity to the conference site; catering services for meals, breaks, banquets, and receptions are required. 5. Site Attractiveness: pleasantness of surrounding environment; local social and cultural attractions for attendees and families.
