                                EKAW88

2ND EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION FOR KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS WORKSHOP

                            Bonn, Germany
                             June 19-23, 
                                 1988

It  is  the  objective  of  EKAW88  to   assemble  theoreticians  and
practitioners of AI who recognize the need for developing methods and
systems to assist  the process  of acquiring  and modeling knowledge
for knowledge-based systems.  

To encourage vigorous interaction and exchange of  ideas the workshop
will  be  limited  to  40  participants.    There  will be individual
presentations and ample time for  technical discussions.   An attempt
will  be  made  to  define  the state-of-the-art  and future research
needs.  Attendance will  be limited  to those  presenting their work,
one author per paper.  

Papers are invited for consideration in all aspects of knowledge 
acquisition for knowledge-based systems, including (but not restricted to):

o Transfer/modeling of expertise - systems that obtain and model knowledge 
  from experts.
o Transfer/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  (from  4  to 8  pages) or a
full-length paper (up  to 20  pages) should  be sent  to Marc Linster
before March 25th, 1988.   Acceptance notices  will be  mailed by Mai
9th.  Camera-ready copies should be returned before June 6th 1988, so
that they may be bound together for distribution at the workshop.  

Ideal  abstracts  and  papers  will  make   pragmatic  or  theoretical
contributions supported by a computer implementation, and explain them
clearly in the context  of existing  knowledge acquisition literature.
Variations will be considered if they make a clear contribution to the
field  (for  example,  comparative analyses,  major implementations or
extensions, or other analyses of existing techniques).
