knowledge based systems are solicited. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the following applications:
Professional: engineering, finance, law, management, medicine
Office Automation: text understanding, intelligent DBMS, intelli-
gent systems
Command & Control: intelligence analysis, planning, targeting,
communications, air traffic control, battle management
Exploration: outer space, prospecting, archaeology
Weapon Systems: adaptive control, electronic warfare, Star Wars,
target identification
Equipment: CAD/CAM, design monitoring, maintenance, repair
Software: automatic programming, maintenance, verification and
validation
Architecture: distributed knowledge based systems, parallel com-
puting
Project Management: planning, scheduling, control
Education: concept formation, tutoring, testing, diagnosis
Imagery: photo interpretation, mapping
Systems Engineering: requirements, preliminary design, critical
design, testing, quality assurance
Tools and Techniques: PROLOG, knowledge acquisition and represen-
tation, uncertainty management
Plant and Factory Automation
Space Station Systems
Human-Machine Interface
Speech and Natural Language
The program will consist of submitted and invited papers, which
will provide an overview of selected areas. Contributed papers
should be consistent with the following outline:
1. Introduction- state clearly the purpose of the work
