AAAI-87 Tutorials -- Request for Proposals Tutorials will be presented at AAAI-87/Seattle on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, July 13, 14, and 16. Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial on a new or standard topic should contact the Tutorial Chair, Bill Clancey. Topic suggestions from tutorial attendees are also welcome. Potential speakers should submit a brief resume covering relevant background (primarily teaching experience) and any available examples of work (ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject). In addition, those people suggesting a new or revised topic should offer a 1-page summary of the idea, outlining the proposed subject and depth of coverage, identifying the necessary background, and indicating why it is felt that the topic would be well attended. With regard to new courses, please keep in mind that tutorials are intended to provide dissemination of reasonably well-agreed-upon information, that is, there should be a substantial body of accepted material. We especially encourage submission of proposals for new advanced topics, which in 1986 included "Qualitiative Simulation," "AI Machines," and "Uncertainty Management." Decisions about topics and speakers will be made by November 1. Speakers should be prepared to submit completed course material by December 15.
