SECOND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRINCIPLES OF DIAGNOSIS
Milano (Italy), October 14-15-16, 1991
Organized by CISE Tecnologie Innovative and Dipartimento di
Informatica of Universita` di Torino
This workshop (which follows the successful one held at Stanford
University in 1990) encourages intensive and high quality interaction
and cooperation among researchers with a diversity of artificial
intelligence approaches to diagnosis. Attendance will be limited
to fifty participants with presentations spread over three days.
Substantial time will be reserved for discussion.
To attend, participants should submit papers (maximum 5000
words) to be reviewed by the committee. Submissions are
welcome on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Theory of diagnosis (abductive vs. deductive diagnosis,
isolation vs. identification, diagnosis on non-monotonic
theories, diagnosis of dynamic systems,...)
- Computational issues (controlling the combinatorial explosion,
focusing strategies, controlling diagnostic reasoning of complex
systems, ...)
- Modeling for diagnosis (multiple, approximate, probabilistic and
qualitative models, integrating model-based diagnosis with
heuristics ....)
- Evaluation of theories on practical applications
- Inductive approaches to diagnosis (Case-Based Reasoning,
Neural Nets, ...)
Accepted papers can be revised for inclusion in the workshop
working notes. Although work published elsewhere is acceptable,
new original work is preferred.
Please send five copies of each submission to the chairman at
the postal address below. Include several ways of contacting the
principal author in addition to a postal address: electronic mail,
fax and telephone numbers are preferred, in that order. Please
indicate with your submission if you wish to make a
presentation or only to attend.
Submissions received after 3 May 1991 will not be considered.
The decisions of the committee will be mailed by 1 July 1991.
