        The 12th IMACS WORLD CONGRESS '88 on Scientific  Computation
        will be hold in Paris, France (July 18-22, 1988).
        A  one-day  session  of  the  Congress  will be  devoted  to  
        SECOND  GENERATION  EXPERT  SYSTEMS.
        Authors are  invited  to  submit  papers  describing  Expert
        Systems  reasoning  with  deep  knowledge,  or any aspect of
        model-based  reasoning  ;  topics  covered  by  the  session
        include:

           -  Reasoning from Structure, Behavior and Function

           -  Qualitative Physics

           -  Causal reasoning

           -  Multi-level, Multi-model reasoning

        Papers can  deal  with  both  theoretical  aspects  of  deep
        reasoning  and  applications  (diagnosis,  process  control,
        simulation).   Emphasis  will  be  put  on  work  describing
        cooperation between heuristic and deep reasoning.
