Because of problems with the mailing of the Call for Papers, THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO JANUARY 12, 1989. ================ AVIGNON 89 ---------- Ninth International Workshop: Expert Systems & their Applications Avignon - France, May 29 - June 2, 1989. Specialized Conference on: SECOND GENERATION EXPERT SYSTEMS =================================== Call for Papers Following the first session on Second Generation Expert Systems organized during the 12th IMACS Congress (Paris, July 18-22, 88), a second specialized conference is organized during Avignon'89. Second Generation Expert Systems are able to combine heuristic reasoning with deeper reasoning, based on a model of the problem domain. The conference will emphasize practical and theoretical issues relating to the cooperation of these two kinds of reason- ing. TOPICS INCLUDE: --------------- - integration of different reasoning techniques; - architecture (preferably implemented) for combining heuristic reasoning and model-based reasoning; - cooperation of multiple expertise; - application of cooperative reasoning to real-world problems (e.g. diagnosis, control, planing, design); - the use of qualitative, causal or temporal reasoning tech- niques to augment heuristic reasoning; - integration of qualitative and quantitative reasoning. In addition to technical quality, papers will be evaluated by their potential to contribute to achieving the goals of Second Generation Expert Systems. SUBMISSION: ----------- Submit 6 copies of full-length papers (no longer than 5000 words; about 15 double-spaced pages) before January 12, 1989 to: ---------------- Jean-Claude Rault - Avignon'89; EC2; 269-287 rue de la Garenne 92000 Nanterre; France tel: 33 - 1 - 47.80.70.00 fax: 33 - 1 - 47.80.66.29 PROGRAM COMMITTEE: ------------------ chairman: Jean-Marc David Laboratoires de Marcoussis route de Nozay 91460 Marcoussis; France tel: 33 - 1 - 64.49.14.89 fax: 33 - 1 - 64.49.06.94 Alice Agogino (University of California at Berkeley; USA); Bert Bredeweg (University of Amsterdam; The Netherlands); B.
