Introduction

This year AAAI papers will not be reduced by the printers, but instead will be printed from 8.5×11'' masters. As a result, preparation of AAAI papers will be easier at most institutions.

AAAI papers should be typeset using a system such as LATEX or Scribe and printed using a good laser or other letter-quality printer. Do not use line printer or dot matrix printer output. Papers with poor quality output, e.g., light or gray type, and papers which significantly deviate from these instructions, e.g., by using 8-point fonts, will not be included in the proceedings, as such papers would be rendered unreadable by the printing process.

Output can either be printed directly on the model forms, or printed on heavy bond paper and pasted onto the model forms using a glue stick, spray adhesive, or rubber cement. The pasted area should be flat and free from creases, and there should be no excess glue anywhere on the forms.
