CALL FOR PAPERS 4th European Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based Systems Workshop EKAW-90 Amsterdam, The Netherlands June 25-29, 1990 EKAW The EKAW is concerned with the research on acquisition of knowledge for practical knowledge-based systems. The workshop will be in two parts: a one day open meeting with key note presentations, and a three-and-a-half day closed workshop. The closed workshop will be limited to 40 participants, one author for each paper accepted. Papers are invited for consideration on all aspects of knowledge acquisition for knowledge-based systems: including (but not restricted to): * Elicitation/modeling of expertise - systems that obtain and model knowledge from experts. * Elicitation/modeling of expertise - manual knowledge acquisition methods and techniques. * Apprenticeship, explanation-based, and other learning systems; integration of such systems with other knowledge acquisition techniques. * Issues in cognition and expertise that affect the knowledge acquisition process. * Extracting and modeling of knowledge from text. * Integration of knowledge acquisition techniques within a single system; integration of knowledge acquisition systems with other systems (hypermedia, database management systems, simulators, spreadsheets). * Knowledge acquisition methodology and training. * Validation of knowledge acquisition techniques; the role of knowledge acquisition techniques in validating knowledge-based systems. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Five copies of a full-length draft paper (up to 20 pages) should be sent to Bob Wielinga (see address below) before February 26th, 1990. Acceptance notices will be mailed by April 16th. Camera-ready copies should be returned before May 14th. The proceedings will be distributed at the workshop.
