CALL FOR PAPERS
CURRENT TRENDS IN SNePS --- THE 1990 WORKSHOP
October 4 & 5, 1990
State University of New York at Buffalo
Buffalo, NY.
DESCRIPTION
SNePS is a state-of-the-art knowledge representation and
reasoning system used for Artificial Intelligence and
Cognitive Science research. It is a propositional semantic
network based system designed by members of The SNePS
Research Group in conjunction and under the supervision
of Dr. Stuart Shapiro and Dr. William Rapaport. SNePS 2.1,
an implementation of SNePS in CommonLisp runs on several
computers and is distributed under license from The Research
Foundation of State University of New York. SNePS, in its
various incarnations, is actively being used and developed
at various AI research labs around the world. The aim of this
workshop is to assemble researchers who are (have been, or
are considering) using SNePS as a research tool for AI
modeling, those who are (have been, or are considering)
evaluating SNePS as an AI research environment, and those
who are interested in commenting on or discussing SNePS
and/or the philosophy of knowledge representation it embodies.
Attendance at the workshop will be kept small (by invitation
only) to allow for maximum possible interaction among
participants. The workshop will be held on the campus of
SUNY at Buffalo. All papers presented will be edited and
compiled into published Proceedings. A tutorial session on
SNePS will be given on the first morning, and we will schedule
a time slot for live demonstrations of SNePS-based or
SNePS-related systems.
To be invited to the workshop, you must submit an Invitation
Request consisting of at least one of the following
(preferably by e-mail):
1. Submit a one page abstract of a paper to be considered
for presentation.
2. Submit a short write-up of your current research and how
it does/might relate to SNePS
and/or its philosophy of knowledge representation.
3. Indicate your intention to attend the tutorial.
4. Submit a short description outlining the nature of
the demonstration you wish to give, its
hardware/software/time requirements, and how the system
to be demonstrates relates to SNePS.
