          This workshop is intended as a forum and focus  for  research  in
          the  representation,  management  and utilization of knowledge in
          the office.  This research area draws from and extends techniques
          in  the  areas  of  artificial intelligence, data base management
          systems, programming languages, and communication  systems.   The
          workshop program will consist of one day of invited presentations
          from key researchers in the area plus one and one  half  days  of
          contributed  presentations.   Extended  abstracts, in English, of
          4-8 double-spaced pages (1,000-2,000 words)  are  invited.   Each
          submission  will  be  screened  for  relevance  and  potential to
          stimulate  discussion.   There  will  be   no   formal   workshop
          proceedings.    However,  accepted  submissions  will  appear  as
                                                                          2
