A few week ago I posted an inquiry about publications on
AI-applications to telecommunications network management. I got
several responses. Thanks to everybody who replied. Here follows a
summary and a list of titles in bibtex format.

The most important sources for this topic are:

*  the book "Expert System Applications to Telecommunications", 
   by Jay Liebowitz (ed), Wiley, 1988. 

*  proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Communications, 
                  June 1988, Philadelphia.

*  proceedings of ICC'89: International Conference on Communications, 1989.

*  proceedings of Avignon'89: specialized conference on Artificial 
                  Intelligence, Telecommunications & Computer Systems,
                  May 1989, Avignon. (also the 1987 proceedings
                  contain some articles on this topic. The same specialized
                  conference will be held again in 1990).

*  the journal "IEEE Journal on selected areas in communications" of june
   1988 is a special issue on this topic.

I hope this information is useful.
