The theme of the symposium is: MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOLUTIONS TO CAD PROBLEMS A number of the challenges faced by digital system designers could be simplified by the use of techniques, tools, and methods developed in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and other fields. The objective of the Symposium is to cover the various aspects of (computer-supported) specification, verification, modelling, evaluation, and synthesis of computer systems based on suitable design languages, supported by appropriate methodologies, programming environments, databases, user interfaces, networks, etc. Topic areas include, but are not restricted to, the following: Multidisciplinary Techniques: Knowledge-based systems; Knowledge representation; Expert systems; Programming environments; Databases; User workstations and graphics. Analysis and Synthesis of Digital Systems: Hardware, Firmware, and Software (whole system) synthesis; Verification, Certification, and Simulation; Performance directed optimization methods; Test generation; Design metrics and evaluation; Complexity measures: theoretical and practical limits. Designing-in-the-large ("Beyond ALUs"): Tool integration; System partitioning aids; Performance estimation aids; Version control and configuration management in CAD systems; Reusability and parameterization of designs; Requirements traceability. Five (5) copies of the full length manuscript in English, not exceeding 20 double-spaced typewritten pages, should be sent to the Program Chairman to arrive no later than June 30, 1986. Notification of acceptance is planned for October 15, 1986. The final camera-ready version of accepted papers is due on December 31, 1986. General Chairman: Program Chairman: Dr. Cees J.

CALL FOR PAPERS: First International Conference on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND LAW May 27-29, 1987 Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts, USA In recent years there has been an increased interest in the applications of artificial intelligence to law. Some of this interest is due to the potential practical applications: A number of researchers are developing legal expert systems, intended as an aid to lawyers and judges; other researchers are developing conceptual legal retrieval systems, intended as a complement to the existing full-text legal retrieval systems. But the problems in this field are very difficult. The natural language of the law is exceedingly complex, and it is grounded in the fundamental patterns of human common sense reasoning. Thus, many researchers have also adopted the law as an ideal problem domain in which to tackle some of the basic theoretical issues in AI: the representation of common sense concepts; the process of reasoning with concrete examples; the construction and use of analogies; etc. There is reason to believe that a thorough interdisciplinary approach to these problems will have significance for both fields, with both practical and theoretical benefits. The purpose of this First International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law is to stimulate further collaboration between AI researchers and lawyers, and to provide a forum for the latest research results in the field. The conference is sponsored by the Center for Law and Computer Science at Northeastern University. The General Chair is: Carole D. Hafner, College of Computer Science, Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA 02115, USA; (617) 437-5116 or (617) 437-2462; hafner.northeastern@csnet-relay. Authors are invited to contribute papers on the following topics: - Legal Expert Systems - Conceptual Legal Retrieval Systems - Automatic Processing of Natural Legal Texts - Computational Models of Legal Reasoning In addition, papers on the relevant theoretical issues in AI are also invited, if the relationship to the law can be clearly demonstrated. It is important that authors identify the original contributions presented in their papers, and that they include a comparison with previous work. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee (listed below), and judged as to its originality, quality and significance. Authors should submit six (6) copies of an Extended Abstract (6 to 8 pages) by January 15, 1987, to the Program Chair: L. Thorne McCarty, Department of Computer Science, Rutgers University, New Brunswick NJ 08903, USA; (201) 932-2657; mccarty@rutgers.arpa. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent out by March 1, 1987. Final camera-ready copy of the complete paper (up to 15 pages) will be due by April 15, 1987. Conference Chair: Carole D.

References and comparisons with related work should be included where appropriate. Abstracts must be no more than 2500 words. Late abstracts or abstracts departing significantly from these guidelines run a high risk of not being considered. If a copier is not available to the author, a single copy of the abstract will be accepted. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 30 JANUARY 1987. Accepted papers, typed on special forms for inclusion in the symposium proceedings, will be due 30 MARCH 1987.
