Artificial Intelligence Society of New England
Annual Meeting
November 11-12, 1988
T. J. Watson Center for Information Technology, 4th Floor
Brown University
Providence, Rhode Island
The Annual Meeting of the Artificial Intelligence Society of New
England will be held on the evening of Friday, November 11th, and on
November 12th, 1988 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
This year, we will have a different format from previous years.
Instead of a single series of presentations, there will be parallel
workshops where researchers with similar interests can explore topics
in-depth. There will be four workshops, two each in the morning and
afternoon, on the Saturday of the meeting.
Within each workshop, there will be short presentations by students,
followed by a discussion led by a faculty member. The topics of the
workshops will be selected from the following:
Automated Reasoning
Connectionism
Formal Theories
Knowledge Representation
Learning
Natural Language
Planning
Robotics and Vision
Reasoning about Uncertainty
Our guest speaker this year will be Ramesh Patil from MIT, who will
speak on ``Artificial Intelligence and Medical Diagnosis''. We have
just moved into a new building at Brown, and we are excited to have
everybody come and join us in celebrating Friday after the talk.
The tentative schedule of events is as follows:
Friday, November 11
7:30PM -- 8:30PM Invited Talk Ramesh Patil, MIT
8:30PM -- General Merriment
Saturday, November 12
9:30AM -- 12:30PM Workshops
12:30PM -- 2:00PM Lunch
2:00PM -- 5:00PM Workshops

institution's students and faculty -- bring a sleeping bag.
The current list of invitees includes BBN, BU, Brandeis, Dartmouth,
GE, Harvard, ITT, MIT, MITRE, NYU, On Technology, Rochester,
Schlumberger, Thinking Machines, Tufts, UConn, UMass (Amherst), UNH,
