First Announcement and Call for Papers 3RD EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION FOR KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS WORKSHOP - EKAW89 Paris, France 3-7 July 1989 EKAW89 is concerned with the acquisition of knowledge for practical knowledge-based systems. The workshop will be in two parts: a two-day open meeting and a three-day closed workshop. The closed workshop will be limited to 40 participants, one author for each paper accepted. Some papers will be presented at the open meeting and the remainder in the closed workshop. Papers are invited for consideration on all aspects of knowledge acquisition for knowledge- based systems, including (but not restricted to): o Elicitation/modeling of expertise - systems that obtain and model knowledge from experts. o Elicitation/modeling of expertise - manual knowledge acquisition methods and techniques. o Apprenticeship, explanation-based, and other learning systems; integration of such systems with other knowledge acquisition techniques. o Issues in cognition and expertise that affect the knowledge acquisition process. o Extracting and modeling of knowledge from text. o Integration of knowledge acquisition techniques within a single system; integration of knowledge acquisition systems with other systems (hypermedia, database management systems, simulators,spreadsheets). o Knowledge acquisition methodology and training. o Validation of knowledge acquisition techniques; the role of knowledge acquisition techniques in validating knowledge-based systems. Five copies of an extended abstract (8 pages) or a full-length paper (up to 20 pages) should be sent to Jean-Gabriel Ganascia before January 25th, 1989. Acceptance notices will be mailed by April 9th. Camera-ready copies should be returned before May 16th 1989. A preprint volume will be distributed at the workshop.
