IMACS, SIGNUM, and the Computing About Physical Objects Laboratory Announce: 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 West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 (317) 494-6003 ARPANET: enh@cs.purdue.edu 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). Organizing Committee: John Rice, Purdue University, USA, Co-Chairman Robert Vichnevetsky, Rutgers University, USA, Co-Chairman Elias Houstis, Purdue University, USA/Greece, Conference Coordinator -- Good health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.
