To: The AI Community From: J. R. Bourne and J. Sztipanovits, Editors, CRC Critical Reviews in Artificial Intelligence Subject: Knowledge Acquisition for CRC-CRAI The CRC Press has recently announced the creation of a new journal entitled "CRC Critical Reviews in Artificial Intelligence" to be edited by J. Bourne and J. Sztipanovits of Vanderbilt University. The CRC-CRAI will seek to provide in-depth reviews of tightly constrained areas in the broad field of Artificial Intelligence. We plan to cover the breadth of the field and publish in the following format. Each volume will consist of 4 issues of roughly 100 pages in each issue. Each issue will contain either 2 or 3 articles. The number of volumes published each year will depend on the interest of the AI community. The topic areas in AI that we have initially selected for review include: Knowledge Acquisition Knowledge Representation Automated reasoning Learning Education/Cognitive Modelling Natural Language Intelligent Robotics Machine Vision AI Languages Applications The purpose of this memorandum is to solicit opinions and recommendations from the AI community concerning prospective authors who would be capable of writing and potentially willing to contribute excellent review articles in the above areas. We are seeking authors who can review, in depth, tightly constrained areas of research. At this time we are not accepting papers for review or inviting reviews; we are collecting a knowledge base about authors and topics. Once this phase of the work is complete we will begin to structure the initial volumes of the journal. If any of the above is of interest to anyone, and you have suggestions for us, please reply to: AIREVIEW@VUENGVAX.bitnet
