Subject:  Conference on Natural Language and the Bible Proceedings?

I saw a posting recently about a conference on Natural Language and
the Bible held in Jerusalem.  If anyone has information on how
to get the proceedings or any papers from this conference, it
would be much appreciated.

		CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR IJCAI AWARDS


THE IJCAI AWARD FOR RESEARCH EXCELLENCE

The IJCAI Award for Research Excellence is given at an International
Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence to a scientist who has
carried out a program of research of consistently high quality over a
period of years that has produced a number of substantial results.  If
the research program has been carried out collaboratively the award may
be made jointly to the research team.  The first recipient of this
award was John McCarthy in 1985.

The award carries with it a certificate and the sum of $1,000 plus
travel and living expenses for the IJCAI.  The researcher(s) will be
invited to deliver an address on the nature and significance of the
results achieved and write a paper for the conference proceedings.
Primarily, however, the award carries the honour of having one's work
selected by one's peers as an exemplar of sustained research in the
maturing science of Artificial Intelligence.

We hereby call for nominations for The IJCAI Award for Research
Excellence to be made at IJCAI-89 in Detroit.  The accompanying note on
Selection Procedures for IJCAI Awards provides the relevant details.


THE COMPUTERS AND THOUGHT AWARD

The Computers and Thought Lecture is given at each International Joint
Conference on Artificial Intelligence by an outstanding young scientist
in the field of artificial intelligence.  The Award carries with it a
certificate and the sum of $1,000 plus travel and subsistence expenses
for the IJCAI.  The Lecture is presented one evening during the
Conference, and the public is invited to attend.  The Lecturer is
invited to publish the Lecture in the conference proceedings.  The
Lectureship was established with royalties received from the book
Computers and Thought, edited by Feigenbaum and Feldman; it is
currently supported by income from IJCAI funds.

Past recipients of this honour have been Terry Winograd (1971),
Patrick Winston (1973), Chuck Rieger (1975), Douglas Lenat (1977),
David Marr (1979), Gerald Sussman (1981), Tom Mitchell (1983),
Hector Levesque (1985), and Johan de Kleer (1987).

Nominations are invited for The Computers and Thought Award to be made
at IJCAI-89 in Detroit.  The note on Selection Procedures for IJCAI
Awards describes the nomination procedures to be followed.


SELECTION PROCEDURES FOR IJCAI AWARDS

Nominations for The Computers and Thought Award and The IJCAI Award for
Research Excellence are invited from everyone in the Artificial
Intelligence international community.  The procedures are the same for
both awards.

There should be a nominator and a seconder, at least one of whom should
not be in the same institution as the nominee.  The nominee must agree
to be nominated.  There are no other restrictions on nominees,
nominators or seconders.  The nominators should prepare a short
submission of less than 2,000 words, outlining the nominee's
qualifications with respect to the criteria for the particular award.

The award selection committee is the union of the Program, Conference
and Advisory Committees of the upcoming IJCAI and the Board of Trustees
of IJCAII, with nominees excluded.  Nominations should be submitted
before December 1st, 1988 to the Conference Chair for IJCAI-89:

			      AI SEMINAR

		  The Causal Simulation of Ordinary
		 and Intermittent Mechanical Devices
				   
			       Pearl Pu
		      University of Pennsylvania
				   
The causal simulation of physical devices is an important area in the
field of commonsense reasoning of the everyday physical world.  When a
human expert describes the way a physical device works, for example a
pendulum clock, he or she uses commonsense knowledge of physics and
mathematics. To make computers to do likewise, we must first construct
a knowledge representation scheme that captures commonsense knowledge,
and supports causal simulation.

Mechanical systems, especially those that exhibit intermittent
motions, provide a good basis for the investigation of behavioral
reasoning issues.  Our key observation is that the spatial
configuration of mechanical devices changes periodically. So far only
simple links or conduits have been used to model the connection
between a pair of objects in the field.  We offer a solution which
uses a separate representational entity, called the connection frame,
to model the spatial relationships between a pair of objects and how
those relationships achieve force or velocity propagation.  The
connection representation is assumed supplied as part of the design
knowledge of the mechanism, though it could be just as readily
computed by other spatial connection determination methods.

In this talk, I describe a framework constructed to simulate the
behaviors of regular and intermittent mechanical systems, with an
emphasis on force and velocity propagation reasoning. In general, it
appears that continuous motion can usually be modeled by velocity
propagation while intermittent motion is best approached by force
propagation.

The second part of the talk, I discuss a simulation system which
attempts to reason about how the physical devices work by simulating
the devices qualitatively, mimicing the way people perform such a
task. The simulation algorithm will be outlined.  Several examples
analyzed with the model include dozens of generic objects and
connections, a two-gear device, a spring-driven cam mechanism, and a
pendulum clock. Currently the simulation is being implemented on the
Symbolics Lisp machine in Flavors, which is an object-oriented
language.  Some of the implementation issues will be discussed as
well.
