personal comments:
looks like an interesting program covering a broad range of work
in the financial services industry. there are several papers by
groups working on the street on internal, proprietary systems.
there are also several papers by vendors (syntelligence, inference,
etc.) who have experience in building these systems. my opinion is
that there the ratio of academic types to "real world" types is still
too high, but is better than most of those expensive "conferences"
put on by the market research and consulting groups. this conference
should be less content-free than most. it will be interesting to see
the effects of this week's crash on future efforts!

John Feinstein [(703) 934-3280] asked me to send out a notice about the first annual conference on expert systems in business and finance -- but I see that John Akbari submitted a description in AIList V5 N246, Oct. 25. I'll just repeat that it's at the Penta Hotel in New York City, November 10-12, 1987, $525. Call (609) 654-6266.
