Title:		Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering
Speaker:  	Dave Barstow
Affiliation:  	Schlumberger-Doll Research
Date: 		January 20, 1987
Location:	AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill
Sponsor:	Pamela Zave

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence techniques ought to help us to manage the extensive
knowledge needed for software engineering, but two decades of research have
produced few demonstrations of utility.  This is due in part to the narrow
focus of previous research.  This talk discusses important issues that remain
to be addressed, describes a practical experiment, and suggests profound
implications for software engineering.
