                     THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL
                 CONFERENCE ON EXPERT SYSTEMS FOR
                       NUMERICAL COMPUTING


                        April 24-26, 1990
                        Purdue University
                   West Lafayette, Indiana, USA



Rationale: Many diverse groups have started work on projects to aid
in the use of complex software systems, and to guide non-specialists in
the many choices that have to be made when they want to use computers for
scientific applications.  This international conference will bring together
active researchers to exchange ideas, viewpoints, and techniques.

Topics include:  Applications of experts systems to the analysis and
design of user interfaces for numerical computing, analysis and design
of user interfaces, knowledge-based systems for scientific applications,
expert systems for mapping applications to parallel architectures and to
support parallel processing, advisory expert systems for general-purpose
scientific software libraries, sophisticated user interfaces for
scientific/engineering systems, and more.

Papers:  Authors should submit three copies of an extended abstract
(two or three typewritten pages) by December 15, 1989.  Contributors will be no
tified regarding acceptance by February 15, 1990; deadline for final manuscript
s is May 1, 1990.  Abstracts and inquiries should be sent to the conference coo
rdinator:

           	          Dr. Elias Houstis
	            Department of Computer Science
	                  Purdue University

Abstracts will be available at the meeting.  The ACM will publish conference
proceedings in a special issue of "Transactions of Mathematical Software".
The best papers presented at the conference will be selected for the proceeding
s
(120-page limit).
