About the Conference
--------------------
KI 2005 cordially invites AI  researchers and practitioners to meet in
the   beautiful town of   Koblenz at the  meeting  point  of Rhine and
Mosella in September this  year.  An attractive technical  program has
been  put together, which  covers   a particularly broad spectrum   of
subfields in AI theory and practice.  It  comprises high quality paper
presentations, a variety of specialised workshops and tutorials and is
highlighted by a number of invited talks.

KI 2005 will be held together with MATES 2005.  The conference is part

Conference Venue
----------------
Koblenz, the 2005  conference venue,  is  situated in  the picturesque
landscape of the Rhine and Moselle right in the middle of Europe.  The
city in the western part of Germany with a true Roman history was over
the centuries captured by the Franks, chosen  as a residence by German
prince electors,   conquered  by the    French and  fortified  by  the
Prussians.  A truly  European  place. Koblenz is  a meeting  point for
visitors from all  over the world and an  excellent starting point for
trips into   the fascinating  landscape    along the  Rhine   and  the
Moselle. From here it's only a short way  to Belgium, The Netherlands,
Luxembourg and France.

Its abundance of cultural  monuments and historic buildings,  its cosy
lanes and narrow  alleyways, the relaxed and  happy atmosphere of  its
squares and  river promenades make Koblenz  a friendly  town where its
guests feel right at home.
 




Hope to see you all in Koblenz,
