APPLIED INTELLIGENCE: The International Journal of Artificial Intelligence,
Neutral Networks, and Complex Problem-Solving Technologies
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GUEST EDITORS & AUTHORS OF PAPERS FOR SPECIAL ISSUES
Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is
under consideration by, other journals. The emphasis of the reported work will be on new and original
research and technological developments covering methodologies as well as applications in the areas
associated with artificial intelligence, knowledge-based expert systems, neural networks, intelligent
distributed and parallel processing, and complex problem-solving technologies.
PROCESS FOR SUBMISSION
1.Authors should submit six hard copies of their final manuscript to:
Dr. Pauline M. Berry
SRI International
333 Ravenswood Avenue
Menlo Park
CA 94025
Tel:
(650) 859 2159
Fax:
(650) 859 3735
Email: berry@ai.sri.com
For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this address.
2.Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five
key words. Some typical key word examples are: machine learning,
planning, scheduling, monitoring, diagnosis, modeling, design, agents,
robotics, and neural net architectures.
3.Enclose originals for the illustrations, see "Style for Illustrations", for
one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may
accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively,
original illustrations may be submitted after the paper has been
accepted. Upon acceptance of the paper, authors must supply a brief
biographical sketch.
4.Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact
author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a
telephone number and a fax number.
5.The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
6.Authors should try to keep the length of the paper (including figures)
under 36 double-spaced pages.
7.All papers should be written in English.
STYLE FOR MANUSCRIPT
1.Typeset, double or 1 1/2 space; use one side of sheet only (laser
printed, typewritten, and good quality duplication acceptable).
533560563, Rev. 9/12/99
2.Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100
to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a
carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key
ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the
article.
3.Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes,
beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered
footnotes. Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if
appropriate.
4.References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the
paper. References should be numbered in order of citation within the
paper. They should be referred to within the text by numerals in
square brackets, e.g. [12]. References should be complete, in the
following style:
Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for
each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive
page numbers, month and year.
Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher, location, chapter
or page numbers (if desired), year.

crossings," M.I.T. Artif. Intell. Lab., Massachusetts Inst.

5.Type or mark mathematical expressions exactly as they should
appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows:
variables, italic type (indicated by an underline); constants, roman
text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy
underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate
typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to
be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter
533560563, Rev. 9/12/99
symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or
boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit
on one line.
STYLE FOR ILLUSTRATIONS
1.Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good
contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
2.Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on
paper, or board. Use 8 1/2 by 11-inch (22 x 29 cm) size sheets if
possible to simplify handling of the manuscript.
3.Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered
consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of
each figure in the text, but place the figure itself on a separate page
following the text.
4.Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label
any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure"
for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each
table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page
following the text. Type a brief title above each table.
5.All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
6.Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation,
and any reasonable size.
7.Number each original on the back.
8.Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for
the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 3. Examples of the fault coverage of
random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential\break
circuits."
