WORKSHOP ON THE APPLICATIONS OF REASON MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS Research Instituut voor Kennis-Systemen Maastricht, The Netherlands 24-25th October 1991 Post activity of ECAI-90 The workshop on Reason Maintenance Systems held at the last ECAI in Stockholm, whilst successful, highlighted the need for the presentation of more work on the use of RMSs. A great deal of theoretical work on RMSs has been published over the last few years but less work on experience with using such systems in practice. To help redress this balance it was proposed, at the ECAI RMS meeting, that a workshop dedicated to applications of RMS be held. The workshop will be organised to encourage the exchange of expertise and ideas. A small number of papers (six or seven) will be presented with plenty of time allowed for discussion. The number of participants will be strictly limited and attendance will be by invitation only. Potential participants are requested to submit an extended abstract (not more than 2000 words) to the program chair. Invitation to attend or present a completed paper to the workshop will be based on the abstract submitted. It is emphasised that the workshop is about the application of RMS and this will be taken into account in refereeing the submissions. The workshop will be held on Thursday (24th October) and Friday (25th October).
