The last ECCAI Board decided to create a bulletin sent by email to all the ECCAI members to inform them about the AI research activities in Europe. This bulletin is a contents of the current events of our community. It will allow you to reach the most recent information distributed among numerous Web sites.

This bulletin will be organized in the following sections : Editorial, News from the ECCAI board and the ECCAI web site, Contents of the last AI-Com and contents of the last ETAI, News form the ECCAI Conferences (ACAI, ECAI), News from the ECCAI societies, News from anybody belonging to the European AI community. Mostly, every current event will be described as a title, a date and an URL for accessing the full information.

This bulletin will be sent each month to those responsible in each ECCAI association, asking these responsible persons to diffuse this bulletin to their members. In the future, any ECCAI members might subscribe to a mailing list.

I hope that this bulletin will bring you valuable help; the help of each of you is hereby sollicited.
Marc AYEL, ECCAI board member, ECCAI-Bulletin Editor,
