I've been asked by a friend to recommend some journals for a company who wants to get into AI, primarily expert systems. I subscribe to AI Expert and recommended that, but I don't know that much about what else is out there. I also mentioned IEEE Expert, which is good, but I think AI Magazine is too academic for what they want. Does anyone have any suggestions for other journals they should look at? Thanks very much!

They might look at Artificial Intelligence Review. Although this is a "scholarly" journal rather than one aimed at engineering practice, it may be of interest since its aim is to provide survey, tutorial and overview articles on all aspects of AI. Thus it should be of high interest to a company trying to "get into AI". I've attached a blurb describing the journal below. Tim ___________________________________________________________________________ Artificial Intelligence Review is an international survey and tutorial journal published by Blackwell Scientific Publications. AIMS and SCOPE AI Review intends to provide high quality, state-of-the-art survey and tutorial papers in all areas of AI. AI Review seeks to serve both the "newcomer" and the established researcher alike. It sets out to explain AI to those who might be researchers in other fields and are interested in incorporating AI ideas into their work. It also serves the needs of established AI researchers as a convenient route into an unfamiliar sub-field, for a general reference for students or for an opinion on a new book. Some recent papers from 1989 include: Connectionism: Past, Present and Future. J. Pollack. Connectionist systems for natural language understanding. B. Selman. Fast connectionist Learning: words and case. N. Sharkey. Connectionism and the multiplicity of mind. A. Clark. Taxonomic reasoning with many-sorted logic. J. Liebowitz. Abductive reasoning in multiple-fault diagnosis. T. Finin and G. Morris. Multiple inheritance systems with exceptions. P. Rychlik. Approaches to qualitative reasoning. A. Cohn. Some forthcoming special theme issues include: Artificial Intelligence - A South Pacific Perspective. Logic and Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence and Law. Artificial Intelligence -- an East European Perspective. Manuscripts or proposals for special issues in any area of AI can be submitted to either the Editor: Masoud Yazdani Department of Computer Science Exeter University Prince of Wales Road Exeter EX4 4PT UK (masoud%cs.exeter.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu) or to the Associate Editor: Tim Finin Center for Advanced Information Processing Unisys PO Box 517 Paoli PA 19301 USA (finin@prc.unisys.com) Submit two copies of a manuscript, double spaced, single sided and with wide margins.

This magazine focuses on artificial intelligence tools (often expert systems) in the personal computer domain, making it very practical for smaller businesses. The magazine is published quarterly out of Arizona (I think). JC Kern e-mail: kern@arecibo.aero.org p-mail: 1030 7th St., Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 (213) 336-3573
