                        FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

                  THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
              APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN
                             ENGINEERING

                        AUGUST 8TH-12TH, 1988
                      STANFORD, CALIFORNIA, USA




INTRODUCTION

The  Third  International Conference on AI in Engineering will be held
during the second week of August, 1988 in Stanford, California.    The
first  and  second  international  conferences  stimulated significant
presentations on both  the  tools  and  techniques  required  for  the
successful  use  of  AI  in engineering and many new applications. The
organising committee members anticipate that the third conference will
be  even  more  successful  and encourage papers which describe recent
work to be submitted.



OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this conference is to provide  an  international  forum
for   the   presentation  of  work  on  the  state-of-the-art  in  the
applications of artificial intelligence to  engineering  problems.  It
also  aims  to  encourage  and  enhance  the  development of this most
important area of research.



CONFERENCE THEMES

The following application areas and topics  are  suggested  and  other
related areas will be considered:

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Authors are invited to submit full papers,  preferably  not  exceeding
8,000  words.Each paper should include an abstract and have sufficient
details, such as the type of knowledge representation, problem solving
strategies, and the implementation language used, to permit evaluation
by a committee consisting of renowned experts  in  the  field.    Each
paper  should  be  accompanied  by  the following details on the first
page:  author's name, address,  affiliation,  the  name  and  address,
e-mail,  telex and fax of the person to whom all correspondence should
be sent, and an indication of the application area and  the  topic(s).
To  allow  for  blind refereeing, the second page should commence with
the paper title and abstract and not include any identifying  material
from  the  first  page.  Final  instructions  on typing format will be
forwarded to authors of each accepted paper after refereeing.

Four copies of the paper should be submitted to:
