                 Wed.  April 27th 1988    (Building planning)
		 Thur. April 28th 1988    (Expert systems)

Where        :  AUSTRADE  (Australian Trade Commission)
                24th Floor, Harbour Centre, 25 Harbour Road

Theme        :  Government and private enterprise currently face increasing
                responsibilities that must be met with diminishing
                resources in a period of rapid technological and social
                change. Microcomputer technology offers opportunities for
                improved capabilities for evaluating the services required,
                and in providing information for decision making. These
                seminars and workshops will describe the development of over
                15 microcomputer-based packages expressly designed for
                planners, engineers and management. Expert systems under
		development for engineering and building applications
		be presented for discussion.

		Ten key planners and engineers from the People's Republic
		of China will be participating in the workshop (under
		sponsorship from AIDAB - Australian International Development
		Assistance Bureau). This will provide a valuable opportunity
		for others wishing to establish linkages into China.

Cost         :  $HK300 per day, or $HK550 for 2 days, or $HK800
                for 3 days (includes luncheon, refreshments and software
                technical handouts). Discount: 10% for early registration
		before March 7th.
		As the number of places is limited, acceptance will be in order 		in receipt of registration.
