CALL FOR PAPERS
SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN
ENGINEERING
AUGUST 4TH-7TH, 1987
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
INTRODUCTION
Following the success of the first international conference in
Southampton, UK, the second international conference is to be held in
Boston during the first week of August. The first international
conference stimulated many presentations on both the tools and
techniques required for the successful use of AI in engineering and
many new applications. The organizing committee members anticipate
that the second conference will be even more succesful and encourage
papers to be submitted.
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this conference is to provide an international forum
for the presentation of work on the applications of artificial
intelligence to engineering problems. It also aims to encourage and
enhance the development of this most important area of research.
CONFERENCE THEMES
The following topics are suggested and other related areas will be
considered:
- Computer-aided design
- Planning and scheduling
- Constraint management
- Intelligent tutors
- Knowledge-based systems
- Knowledge representation
- Learning
- Natural language applications
- Cognitive modelling of engineering problems
- Database interfaces
- Graphical interfaces
- Knowledge-based simulation
- Model-based problem solving
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Authors are invited to submit a 1000 word extended abstract. This
abstract should have sufficient details, such as the type of knowledge
representation, problem solving strategies, and the implementation
language used, to permit evaluation by a committee consisting of
renowned experts in the field. The abstract should be accompanied by
the following details: author's name, address, affiliation, and the
person to whom all correspondence should be sent.
All abstracts should be submitted to Dr. R. Adey, Computational
Mechanics Inc., Suite 6200, 400 West Cummings Park, Woburn, MA 01801
(Tel. no. 617-933-7374), before November 1986. The notification of
acceptance will be sent before February 1st, 1987. Final acceptance
of papers will be based on the review of the complete paper.
