**CALL FOR PAPERS**
IJCAI-91 WORKSHOP
ADVANCES IN INTERFACING PRODUCTION SYSTEMS WITH THE 'REAL WORLD'
Sydney, Australia, 25th August, 1991
This workshop is devoted to production systems (or rule-based systems) tightly
coupled to 'real world' problems. Contributions concerning new hardware and
software production system architectures focusing on real-time aspects such as
graceful degradation, run-time guarantee, asynchrony, uncertainty, data fusion,
high performance, and resource bound evaluations are recommended. The workshop
will also focus on the problem of integrating production systems with databases
and conventional procedural languages. Papers on new ideas criticizing the
current production system paradigm and proposing new research directions are
highly welcome. Discussions on practical real-time system implementations will
only be considered if they are implemented as production systems and are
already running in industrial applications. Drawbacks and merits of the
production systems underlying such implementations must be discussed.
Submissions Details
Authors should mail three copies of their submission to one of the organizers
(see addresses below). Submissions should be no longer than 14 *double-spaced*
pages, including the title page, figures, and references. The title page should

participant. Note that a workshop submission will not count as "published
elsewhere" if it is later submitted to a conference or journal.
A summary of the workshop will be published in AI Magazine.
