! CALL FOR PAPERS !
+-----------------+
The Second International Conference on AI in Economics and
Management will be held in Singapore during the 2nd week of
January 1989. The workshop will address issues relevant to the
use of AI Technology in Economic and Management communities.
Topics for the workshop will cover both technology and
applications.
Professor Herbert Simon, Nobel Laureate will be the Keynote
Speaker.
This workshop will address research and applications of
artificial intelligence techniques and tools, in the areas of:
finance, accounting, marketing, banking, insurance, economics,
human-resource management, assets adminstration, decision
support systems, public and private services, office automation,
law, and manufacturing planning.
The techniques to be presented should be explicitly relevant to
the above application areas, and include: knowledge
representation, search and inference, knowledge acquisition,
intelligent interfaces, knowledge base validation, natural
language analysis, planning procedures, and task support systems.
The tools to be presented should also be specific in design or in
use to the application areas discussed at the workshop, and may
cover: application specific expert systems, front-ends to
decision support systems, interfaces to database systems,
interfaces between symbolic and procedural processors, object
oriented environment.
The workshop will have contributed papers and case sessions.
There will be separate tutorials on the use of AI technology on
January 9 & 10.
