In response to the query about AI research going on at USENET sites:

The Tektronix Computer Research Lab now has a Knowledge-Based Systems
group. We are a <very> new group and are still staffing up.  We're
looking into circuit trouble shooting as well as numerous other topics
of interest.

We at the University of Toronto have a strong AI group that has
been in action for years:

	Area			Major Project

Knowledge Representation	PSN (procedural semantic network)

Databases and Knowledge		TAXIS
Representation

Vision				ALVEN (left ventricular motion understanding)

Linguistics			speech acts


A major summary of our activities is being prepared to appear in the
magazine for AAAI at some point.

Our research is being done on VAXen under UNIX*.  Presently at utcsrgv,
we will soon (September) be moving to a VAX dedicated to ai work.
