Subject: deadline change
EXTENDED DEADLINE -- Automating software design workshop
Due to problems with the mail link at kestrel, we are extending the
deadline for requests to participate and/or make presentations at the
automating software design workshop at AAAI. The deadline, which was
originally 15 June, has been changed to 4 July; we still intend to
send notification around 15 July. To maximize the likelihood of your
request/abstract being received, we suggest the following csnet
addresses: robert@uconn.edu for mccartney, lowry@coyote.stanford.edu
for lowry. Hard copy submissions should be sent to Doug Smith at
Kestrel as before. If you have any questions, call one of the
organizers at the numbers given below.
Current plans include a difference in emphasis between the morning and
afternoon sessions--the morning's emphasis will be on specification
and acquisition issues, while the afternoon's will be on formal
derivation. This separation is by no means absolute, and given the
deadline change, the schedule is still quite approximate.
The revised call follows. Apologies to all whose mail to kestrel
didn't go through.
--robert.
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Automating software design: current directions
(a workshop at AAAI-88)
Radison-St. Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Minnesota
Thursday, 25 August 1988
In this workshop, we intend to discuss current approaches to automated
software design and how these approaches deal with: 1) acquiring
specifications, 2) acquiring and representing domain and design
knowledge, and 3) controlling search during design. Among the issues
that might be addressed are the interaction of domain and design
knowledge, comparing automatic and interactive systems, the use of
general vs. specific control mechanisms, and software environments
appropriate for design systems.
This is intended to be a forum for the presentation and discussion of
current ideas and approaches. The format will consist of individual
presentations followed by adequate time for interaction with peers.
To maximize such interaction, participation will be limited to a small
number of active researchers.
Participation: Those interested in attending should submit a short
description of their research interests and current work to one of the
organizing committee (preferably electronically) by July 4. At the
same time, those interested in making a presentation should submit a
short abstract (around 500 words) of their intended topic.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be given after July 15.
All participants may submit an extended abstract or position paper by
August 1; these will be reproduced and distributed at the workshop.
