                      IN KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS


Paris, France
June 30 - July 4 1986


Supported by:

Ministere de la Recherche
et de la Technologie
AFCET
Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientiique
Societe Francaise de Theorie de l'Informationn

Chairpersons:

Bernadette Bouchon (France)
Ronald R. Yager (United States)

Purpose of the Conference:

The aim of this Conference is to bring together researchers working
on information, uncertain data processing and related topics. The
management of uncertainty is at the heart of many knowledge-based
systems and a number of approaches have been developed for
representing these types of information.

It is hoped that this Conference will provide a useful exchange
between practitioners and theoreticians using these methods.
