Scope of the Conference
-----------------------
The conferences of AIDRI, the International Association for the
Development of Interdisciplinary Research, (1989: Modelisation,
1990: Networks and their applications, 1991: Artificial
intelligence in human sciences, 1992: Cognitive sciences, 1994:
Neural networks, 1996: Distributed intelligence and collective
decisions) are inter-disciplinary meeting opportunities. They
offer to both theoreticians and practitioners the possibility to
compare their point of view with specialists of fields like
philosophy, epistemology, linguistics, psychology, sociology,
economics, neural sciences, biology, anthropology, mathematics,
computer science, etc. With such meetings, AIDRI aims at promoting
the exchange of knowledge between research domains. The exchange
may consist in complementary insights helping one another to
understand a same phenomenon. It may also be of methodological
concern by focusing on the similarities and differences between
the techniques of analysis used in different domains.

Thus, this Conference on Learning, i.e. on the principles of
knowledge acquisition and adaptation to new information, is open
to anyone interested in that subject. It will provide in
particular place for papers concerned with:

- the analysis of natural learning processes of living beings;
- the elaboration of learning helping tools;
- the development of artificial learning processes.
