In 1993, the name of the meeting changed to its current formAnnual German Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence, or KI for short. Since KI-94 in Saarbruc ken presentations have been in English and the proceedings have been published in the Springer LNAI Series.

For the technical program we had 58 submissions from 17 countries and from all continents except Australia. Out of these contributions slightly less than 30% (20 papers in total) were selected for presentation at the conference and for inclusion in the proceedings.

They cover important areas such as multi-agent systems, machine learning, natural language processing, constraint reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, and temporal reasoning. The paper On the problem of computing small representations of least common subsumers by Franz Baader and Anni-Yasmin Turhan (Dresden U- versity of Technology) stood out for its exceptional quality and the program committee selected it for the Springer Best Paper Award. Congratulations to the authors for their excellent contribution.
