CALL FOR PAPERS 21ST ANNUAL HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES (HICSS-21) Papers are invited for the session(s) on Use of AI Techniques in Software Design and Implementation in the software track of the 21st annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-21), to be held in Kona, Hawaii next January 5-8, 1988. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following artificial intelligence areas as they apply to software design and implementation, particularly for large-scale software systems. Techniques may apply to any or all phases of the software development process: project management, requirements, functional specification, design specification, modular decomposition, coding, integration, testing, maintenance, documentation, delivery, etc. Example applications are given in parentheses. - Automatic deduction (detecting inconsistencies among programmers' assumptions, automatic programming) - Knowledge representation (semantic nets, frames, etc. for representing programming information) - Learning (self-tuning of software tools to specific programs, generalization of program fragments to support reusability) - Natural language (matching functionality of program parts with the corresponding program documentation, explaining program components and their interactions to new project member) - Planning (detecting interactions among planned changes) - Rule-based systems (program transformation, performance tuning) - Search (retrieval of reusable program fragments) Six copies of the full paper (maximum 20 double-spaced pages) should be sent to the session chairman at the address given below. Papers must arrive by July 1, 1987. Authors will be notified of acceptance by September 7, 1987. Camera-ready copies will be due by October 19, 1987. Session chairman: Prof. Gail E.
