CONTACT REQUIRED: SPACE OR MILITARY EXPERT SYSTEMS
--------------------------------------------------


I wish to contact someone (reasonably senior) who has worked on an expert
system in one of the following areas:


       1. Space technology - monitoring, control, planning

       2. Military Science - of particular interest is:
	       
	       - prediction, e.g. modelling behaviour of states or terrorist
		 organisations and making predictions based on available
		 knowledge

               - interpretation of sensor data. i.e. integrating raw data
		 from multiple sensors and giving a high-level "user-      
		 friendly" interpretation of what is going on.



I wish to obtain the following information:


       1. Postal address and telephone number (along with email address).
	  If possible: Times of day (and days of the week) when telephone
	  contact is convenient.


       2. Details of how to obtain the following documentation (or better
	  still a direct mailing of it if this is convenient):

	       - TECHNICAL papers describing the arcitecture, knowledge
		 representation, inference engine, tools, language, machine
		 etc.

               - papers giving the precise REQUIREMENTS of the system. If 
		 this is not possible, a short summary will do.


       3. Was the project successful? Were all the original requirements 
	  satisfied? Has the system been used successfuly in an operational
	  environment?


       4. What were the problems encountered and what has been learned from
	  the project?



 I would also be interested to hear from someone who has done RESEARCH on
 any of the above (or knows of someone who has).
