I am preparing a short article on associations, societies, and related organizations in artificial intelligence. For each, I would appreciate receiving the following kind of information: name; purpose; date of establishment; principal people involved in getting it started; important events in its history; publications, conferences, and other activities; current membership (if relevant); and any other items of special interest. I would like to put the set of organizations in some historical perspective, if possible. Pointers to other places where something like this has already been done would be particularly helpful, and copies of same would be even moreso. Needless to say, net transmission is most efficient, as the deadline is uncomfortably close. And I would particularly value finding someone who would be interested in helping put all this information together! I would expect to include SIGART, ACL, ICCL, AISB, IJCAII, AAAI, CSS, CSCSI, ECCAI, and as many other national and regional groups as possible. Please help if you can; share with me what you have available, even if you think you may not be the most appropriate person to do so; and help get this message out to the people who should know. Net messages to walker@mouton.arpa, walker%mouton@csnet-relay, or ucbvax(or ihnp4, etc.)!bellcore!walker; mail to Don Walker (EAI) Bell Communications Research 445 South Street, MRE 2A379 Morristown, NJ 07960, USA I am sending this notice to publications as well as bboards, digests, and people, but note that the time is too short to justify actually printing it in most of them. Instead, the editors should respond themselves or route it to those most likely to have the information.
