			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.
