Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, semantic models for knowledge, for belief, and for uncertainty, bounded rationality and resource-bounded reasoning, commonsense epistemic reasoning, epistemic logic, knowledge and action, applications of reasoning about knowledge and other mental states, and belief revision. TARK VII will be coordinated with the 1998 Microeconomic Theory Workshop at Northwestern University, sharing talks for about a day and a half, on topics that are of interest to both audiences. Previously a by-invitation-only conference, TARK is now open to all interested attendees. Information for Authors ======================= Submissions are now invited to TARK-VII. Please submit 15 copies of a detailed abstract (not a full paper) to the address below. Strong preference will be given to papers whose topic is of interest to an interdisciplinary audience, and papers should be written so that they are accessible to such an audience. Papers that are submitted to the TARK-Microeconomic Theory joint sessions should be identified as such, and will be separately evaluated by the two program committees. Based on interest considerations, a paper may be accepted for presentation in one event but not in the other. Conversely, the committees may include a regular TARK submission in the joint sessions. Papers will be held to the usual high standards of research publications. In particular, they should 1) contain enough information to enable the program committee to identify the main contribution of the work; 2) explain the significance of the work -- its novelty and its practical or theoretical implications; and 3) include comparisons with and references to relevant literature. Abstracts should be no longer than ten double-spaced pages (4,000 words). If possible, an email address for the contact author should be included. Papers arriving late or departing significantly from these guidelines risk immediate rejection. Economists should be aware that special arrangements are being made with certain economics journals (in particular, with International Journal of Game Theory, Games and Economic Behavior, and Journal of Economic Theory) so that publication of an extended abstract in TARK will not prejudice publication of a full journal version. The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 4, 1998. Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 1, 1998. Camera-ready copies of the accepted papers will be due by June 3, 1998. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the conference. The conference proceedings will be published.
