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: -------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Application Areas Topics | | Design Representation | | Diagnosis/Evaluation Problem Solving | | Process Control and Planning Constraint Reasoning | | Robotics Learning | | Tutoring Qualitative Models | | Sensing and Interpretation Tools | | User Interfaces | | | -------------------------------------------------------------- INVITED SPEAKERS Keynote: Dr Raj Reddy, Director of the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University and President, AAAI. Invited Speakers: Dr. Rick Hayes-Roth, Chief Scientist, Teknowledge Others will be announced shortly. 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: Professor John Gero Technical Chair, AIE88 Department of Architectural Science The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Australia Tel: 61-2-692-2328 (International) Tlx AA26169 Fax: 61-2-692-3031 Net Address: ARPA: john%archsci.su.oz@uunet.uu.net UUCP: uunet!munnari!archsci.su.oz!john CSNet: john@archsci.su.oz In addition, one copy of the paper should be sent to: Dr R. Adey Computational Mechanics Institute 25 Bridge Street Billerica, MA 01821 Tel. No: 617-667-7582 All papers should be submitted before January 15, 1988. Notification of acceptance will be sent before March 15, 1988. Final copies of the papers are due on or before April 8, 1988. REVIEW CRITERIA All papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the area. Acceptance of the paper will be based on the quality of the work and its presentation in the paper.
