			  Call For Papers

			      AIDA '89
		  The Fifth Annual Conference on
		   Artificial Intelligence & Ada

		       November 16 - 17, 1989

    Sponsored by: George Mason University,
		  Institute for Defense Analysis,
		  Software Productivity Consortium

Technical papers are hereby solicited for AIDA '89, the only conference
which emphasizes the interaction of Artificial Intelligence and the Ada
programming language. AIDA conferences traditionally attract international
participation from a broad spectrum of technical and managerial positions
in industry, government, and academia.	The program includes submitted
papers, invited talks, and panel discussions.


			  Conference Theme
The AIDA '89 conference focuses on scientific foundations and software
technologies for future AI embedded systems that can be characterized
as: real-time, intelligent, implemented in Ada, missions critical,
operational for long periods of time, and distributed. The technology
needed to support such systems has not yet matured or does not yet exist.
There is a particular need to bring together the current research in AI,
real-time and Ada. Researchers in both academia and industry are called
upon to develop the foundations for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of these next generation systems.

			  Areas of Interest
The special topics of interest include, but are not limited to the
following:

AI Applications in Ada			AI Methods for Software Engineering
AI Environments and Ada			Ada Environment Tools to Support AI
Analysis of Language Features for AI	AI Languages Implemented in Ada
Managing the AI/Ada Interface		Embedded AI Systems

			 Author Information
Each submitted paper will receive a thorough technical review by members
of the program committee, and accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceeding. Authors should submit 4 copies of a complete paper
no larger than 15 double spaced pages (approximately 5000 words) together
with a cover page which includes title, all authors' names, complete
addresses and telephone numbers for each author to:
