  George  Drastal,  a Ph.D. student in our department, will describe his thesis
reseach in an informal talk.  His abstract:

       Results are presented of some experiments with Rule  Writer,  an  AI
    system  that  assists  knowledge  engineers  with  the  task of writing
    inference rules  for  a  medical  consultation  system  in  the  EXPERT
    formalism.    Rule  Writer  (RW) is used primarily in an early stage of
    expert system development, to generate a prototype rule base.   RW  may
    also   be   used  as  a  testbed  for  experimenting  with  alternative
    organizations   of   expert   knowledge   in   the   EXPERT   knowledge
    representation.
