This book presents some of the best ideas that are currently
developed in doctoral theses in the area of Artificial Intelligence from
all over Europe and beyond. Will provide the reader with papers about
the newest formal and practical approaches written by the emerging
intelligentsia in Artificial Intelligence. STAIRS 2004 reaches out to the
best young researchers worldwide who present their solutions to
advance AI and to bridge between its different subdisciplines, such as
Multi-agent Systems, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning,
Uncertainty Management, Constraint Programming, and Intelligent
User Interfaces.

The topics of the papers cover a broad range in Artificial Intelligence
including areas such as Knowledge Representation and Reasoning,
Machine Learning, Web Mining, Search, Agents, Robotics and
Information Extraction.
