"The Conference on Expert Systems for Numerical Computing"
Dec. 5-7, 1988
Purdue University
W. Lafayette, IN
Rationale: Many diverse groups have started work on projects to aid in
the use of complex software systems, and to guide nonspecialists in the
many choices that have to be made when they want to use computers for
scientific applications. This international conference will bring
together active researchers ihto exchange ideas, viewpoints and
techniques.
Topics: AI and expert systems, analysis and design of user interfaces
for expert systems, knowledge-based systems for scientific
applications, expert systems for mapping applications to parallel
architectures and to support parallel processing, advisory expert
systems for general-purpose scientific software libraries,
sophisticated user interfaces for scientific/engineering systems, etc.
Submissions: Authors should submit 3 copies of an extended abstract (2
to 3 pages) by July 31, 1988. Contributors will be notified regarding
acceptance by Sept. 15; deadline for final manuscripts is November 30.
Abstracts and enquiries should be submitted to the conference
coordinator:
Professor Elias N. Houstis
Dept. of Computer Science

Abstracts will be available at the meeting. IMACS will publish
conference proceedings in a special issue of "Mathematics and Computers
in Simulation." The best papers presented at the conference will be
selected for the proceedings.
