Subject: Conference : Aerospace Applications of AI
ACM/SIGART (Dayton, Ohio, Chapter) will hold an AI Conference Sept 16 -
19 (Registration Sept 16, Sessions 17-19) 1985. Registration fee $225.
Address is
AAAIC '85, Box 31250, Dayton, Ohio, 45431-0250.
Phone 513-426-8530
While the name says "aerospace", this is because of the proximity of the
big air base there and because one or two of the sessions deals with
avionics. Most of the sessions are applicable to AI in general:
Avionics, manufacturing, maintenance, decision support systems, expert
system building tools, programming languages, man-machine interfaces,
and new architectures. World famous speakers are coming, such as Dr. M.
Stefik, XEROX PARC; Dr. Earl Sacerdoti, Teknowledge, Dr. M. Fox, CMU,
Prof. D. Michie, Univ of Edinburgh, and many more.
Attendance is limited to 700 people.
Direct inquiries by mail or phone to the address above, or contact
Gerald Matthews, NCR R&D WHQ-5E, Dayton, Ohio, 45479, Phone
