Subject: expert systems and maintenance planning
Hello:
I'm just starting on a project which main goal is to evaluate the
possibilities of combining the use of knowledge based systems with
maintenance planning.
So far, I have found very little work done in this field so everything
will be of interest. It is however, maintenance planning of rotating
machinery which is the main interest group.
I like to get hold on everything: articles, program descriptions and things
like that. If someone is interested in further information about the
project, please let me know.
Thank you ---Grethe

Grethe, Bell Labs developed a system for maintenance of cable which I think
was called ACE. Try there for starters.

Subject: 'Go' challenge
Here is a news item that was published in August 5th "PC Week":
You can be $1 million richer if you're the first
person to devise a Go program that can beat a human
expert.
MultiTech Inc., Taiwan's largest manufacturer of
personal computers, is sponsoring the contest in
conjuction with the Taiwanese Ing Chang-chi Weich'i
Educational Foundation.
MultiTech says that its motives are:
1. to create an awareness of the Chinese origins of the
game Go and to increase interest in the game;
2. to spur development of computer hardware, software
and artificial intelligence; and
3. to increase international awareness of progress in
the Taiwanese computer industry.
The contest was inspired by a similar one that began about
30 years ago and which promised to award its prize to the
author of the first chess program that could be a human
master. That contest lasted for six years before the
prize was won -- a whopping 2,000 pounds sterling (about
$10,000).
The computer/Go contest will be staged annually from now
until the end of the century, according to MultiTech.
