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. Organizing Committee General Chair Dr. R.
