CALL FOR PARTICIPATION A Joint IEEE Software and IEEE Expert Special Issue on "The Interactions Between Expert Systems and Software Engineering" In FJCC'87 a panel composed of R. Balzer (Information Sciences Institute), C. V. Ramamoorthy (University of California at Berkeley), W. W. Royce (Lockheed Software Technology Center), M. M. Tanik (Southern Methodist University), W. Bledsoe (MCC), D. Y. Y. Yun (Southern Methodist University), and Roger Bates (Texas Instruments), discussed the issues related to interactions between AI and Software Engineering. It is observed that there was a growing interest among practitioners of AI and SE to look into the issues concerning both of these fields. Recent papers from C. V. Ramamoorthy (IEEE Computer, Jan. 1987) and H. Simon (IEEE TSE, July 1986) summarizes some of the interest areas and concerns. Now, IEEE Software and IEEE Expert seek contributions for special issues that will be published in November 1988. The focus of these issues will be on the interactions between the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering. Original research papers as well as general categories of tutorials, surveys, and overviews are welcome. Two hundred word abstracts should be submitted as soon as possible, and eight copies of manuscripts are due by February 1, 1988 addressed to: Murat M. Tanik Southern Methodist University Department of Computer Science and Engineering Dallas, TX 75275-0122 (214) 692-2854
