                               Call for Papers

         Artificial Intelligence Applications for Military Logistics
                           Symposium and Workshops
                           Williamsburg, Virginia

                              March 25-27, 1991


Theme:  Meeting the Challenges of Defense Management Reform

Sub-themes: AI's Role in Major Logistics Systems Modernization

            AI Solution to Traditional Supportability
               Sustainability Problems


The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Logistics) and the
Artificial Intelligence Division of the American Preparedness Association will
present a symposium and workshop on "Artificial Intelligence Applications for
Military Logistics," on March 25-27, 1991, at the Williamsburg Hilton
Hotel and Conference Center in Williamsburg, Virginia.
                                                  
THIS IS A SOLICITATION FOR PAPERS TO BE PRESENTED

Papers are encouraged in the areas of acquisition logistics, cargo management,
maintenance diagnostics, transportation scheduling material management and
distribution, energy management, petroleum distribution, logistics planning,
and logistics management (i.e. accounting, emergency operations, etc).  As
indicated by the theme, interest extends to AI modules integrated into major
logistics systems applications (mainframe size) and also stand alone
applications on microcomputers.  The symposium is interested in papers that
deal with the integration of AI systems with other data processing
systems/applications and the integration of AI systems with other AI systems
(e.g. expert systems with neural nets).


GUIDELINES FOR PAPERS

Individuals desiring to present papers to the symposium should submit a
200-300 word unclassified abstract to the Program Committee by December 15,
1990.  The abstract must include the author's name(s), organization,
address(es), telephone number(s), and indicate which author will present the
paper with an asterisk.  The maximum time permitted for each paper will be
twenty minutes, with an additional 5-10 minutes allowed for questions.  (A
form for submission of the abstract is attached.)  Papers should focus on the
symposium theme and sub-themes as they relate to applied AI.
