This volume contains the proceedings of SARA 2000, the fourth Symposium on Abstraction, Reformulations, and Approximation (SARA). The conference was held at Horseshoe Bay Resort and Conference Club, Lake LBJ, Texas, July 26 29, 2000, just prior to the AAAI 2000 conference in Austin. Previous SARA conferences took place at Jackson Hole in Wyoming (1994), Ville d Est erel in Qu ebec (1995), and Asilomar in California (1998). The symposium grewout of a series of workshops on abstraction, approximation, and reformulation that had taken place alongside AAAI since 1989. This year s symposium was actually scheduled to take place at Lago Vista Clubs & Resort on Lake Travis but, due to the resort s failure to pay taxes, the conference had to be moved late in the day. This mischance engendered eleventh-hour reformulations, abstractions, and resource re-allocations of its own. Such are the perils of organizing a conference. This is the first SARA for which the proceedings have been published in the LNAI series of Springer-Verlag. We hope that this is a reflection of the increased maturity of the field and that the increased visibility brought by the publication of this volume will help the discipline grow even further. Abstractions, reformulations, and approximations (AR&A) have found - plications in a variety of disciplines and problems including automatic programming, constraint satisfaction, design, diagnosis, machine learning, planning, qualitative reasoning, scheduling, resource allocation, and theorem proving. The papers in this volume capture a cross-section of these application domains. Seller Inventory # 13854

Synopsis:

This book constitues the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Abstraction, Reformulation, and Approximation, SARA 2000, held at Lake LBJ, Texas, USA in July 2000. The nine revised full papers presented together with five extended abstracts, three posters, seven research summaries, and four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The book addresses all current aspects of abstraction, reformulation, and approximation and applications in areas like automatic programming, constraint satisfaction, design, diagnosis, inductive logic programming, computational learning, planning, resource allocation, theorem proving, qualitative reasoning, relational databases, etc.
