PURPOSE OF THE SYMPOSIUM:
This Symposium is intended to attract individuals who are
actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects
of intelligent systems. The goal is to provide a platform
for a useful exchange between theoreticians and practitioners,
and to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas in the
following areas: Approximate Reasoning, Expert Systems,
Intelligent Databases, Knowledge Representation, Learning
and Adaptive Systems, Logic for Artificial Intelligence,
Intelligent Manufacturing Systems. In addition, we solicit
