AVIGNON 89
----------
Ninth International Workshop: Expert Systems & their Applications
Avignon - France, May 29 - June 2, 1989.
Specialized Conference on:
SECOND GENERATION EXPERT SYSTEMS
===================================
Call for Papers
Following the first session on Second Generation Expert Systems
organized during the 12th IMACS Congress (Paris, July 18-22, 88),
a second specialized conference is organized during Avignon'89.
Second Generation Expert Systems are able to combine heuristic
reasoning with deeper reasoning, based on a model of the problem
domain. The conference will emphasize practical and theoretical
issues relating to the cooperation of these two kinds of reason-
ing.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
---------------
- integration of different reasoning techniques;
- architecture (preferably implemented) for combining heuristic
reasoning and model-based reasoning;
- cooperation of multiple expertise;
- application of cooperative reasoning to real-world problems
(e.g. diagnosis, control, planing, design);
- the use of qualitative, causal or temporal reasoning tech-
niques to augment heuristic reasoning;
- integration of qualitative and quantitative reasoning.
In addition to technical quality, papers will be evaluated by
their potential to contribute to achieving the goals of Second
Generation Expert Systems.
SUBMISSION:
-----------
Submit 6 copies of full-length papers (no longer than 5000 words;
about 20 double-spaced pages) before December 12, 1988 to:
