I'll be visiting the Military History and International Relations
Department at Oxford's All Souls College this Michaelmas Term.

Unfortunately, they apparently have no machines with Net access.  (I don't
think the department is exactly full of hackers... (-: )  Is anyone aware
of another department that might grant a guest account with Net access to
a visiting scholar with research interests in knowledge-based simulation
using ROSS-in-Scheme?  Thanks!  -B

			    BULLETIN N.I

Dear Colleague,

  The ever increasing complexity of high energy and nuclear physics
experiments is now in an accelerating phase with the LEP detectors
and the planned LHC, SSC, UNK,.. experiments.
  Physics simulations, equipment designs, detector and accelerator control,
on-line data taking and data analysis, all computing related activities
absorb a huge part of the financial and manpower resources of these
experiments.
  Recently developed techniques of software management and expert systems
have become an essential ingredient of the success of current and
forthcoming "big" experiments.
  However, these techniques and methods, to be efficient, have to be
integrated properly into our environment and well accepted and
endorsed by the community.

We are organizing an International Workshop dedicated to these topics:

" Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems
	     for Nuclear and High Energy Physics "

The goals of this workshop are essentially threefold:

  1) To present reports on recent applications or developments of these
     techniques in Nuclear and High Energy Physics.

  2) To update and improve our knowledge on these techniques by inviting
     the best experts on software engineering and expert systems.

  3) To foster collaboration across various H.E.P. and N.P. experiments
     and other physics fields, on specific subjects of importance for our
     domain.

Are there any users of the HVAC modular simulation tool HVACSIM+ out
there?

I'm having a problem with a model I'm developing, and would appreciate
the advice of other users.

Please email replies to englandr@phoenix.Princeton.EDU, or call me at
