Ken: Someone posted a message on AILIST asking about the IEEE Videoconference, and you appeared to need some assistance in answering the question. The Videoconference was not just in NY (as implied by the questioner) but was broadcast via satellite "around the globe" (so to speak). The title of the Videoconference was "Practical Applications of Artificial Intelligence" and ran for three hours. Elaine Rich provided the program intro and served as technical consultant. Case studies were given by Bill Blake (DEC), Robin Steel (Boeing), and Sandy Marcus (NCR). A specific focus was taken on programs that serve as an engineering design aid. Future topics of the Videoconferences include supercomputers, microprocessors, lasers, superconductive materials, etc. More infor can be obtained from the IEEE offices, and tapes of previous presentations can be purchased as well (the Feb. 18 show will be ready in about a month). Hope this helps (but don't sign me as Dear Abbey). Lance Eliot IEEE Expert, Associate Editor and University of Southern California, Faculty -------
