The focus for the reported work will be on research in artificial intelligence and neural networks. The journal will address issues involving solutions of real-life manufacturing, defense, management, government and industrial problems which are too complex to be solved through conventional approaches and which require the simulation of intelligent thought processes, heuristics, application of knowledge, and distributed and parallel processing. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving complex problems will be of particular importance. The emphasis of the reported work will be on new and original research and technological developments rather than on reports concerning the applications of existing technology to different sets of data. Earlier work reported in these fields has been limited in application and has solved simplified, structured problems which rarely occur in real-life situations. Only recently have researchers in the field started addressing real and complex issues applicable to difficult problems. This journal welcomes these developments and seeks to be a catalyst in disseminating the original research and technological achievements of the international community in these areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Knowledge-Based Expert Systems Knowledge Representation Knowledge Acquisition Machine Learning Natural Language Processing Qualitative & Temporal Reasoning Uncertainty Management Qualitative Models Intelligent Database Systems Pattern Recognition Vision Speech Recognition & Synthesis Intelligent Interfaces Knowledge-Based Methodologies Autonomous Systems Real-time Systems Intelligent Manufacturing Sensor Fusion Planning & Scheduling Monitoring & Prediction Analysis & Prediction Decision Making Classification & Recognition Modeling & Design Feature Extraction Robotics &Controls Automatic Tracking System Dependability Neural Net Architectures Neurological Connections Optical Neurocomputers Electrical Neurocomputers Associative Memory Learning Methodologies Self Organization Network Dynamics Adaptive Resonance Combinational Optimization Distributed & Parallel Processing Neural Simulation & Modeling Cooperative & Competitive Processing FOR SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS, CONTACT: Karen S.
