[comp.ai.digest] Conference - Expert Systems and Software Engineering

E1AR0002@SMUVM1.BITNET (Leff, Southern Methodist University) (11/09/87)

                           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:
