Subject: Conference - Possible Workshop on Real-Time at AAAI-87
I am proposing a workshop on real-time processing in knowledge-based
systems to be held at AAAI-87. At the present time I am looking for
suggestions about the workshop content and format (draft announcement
follows). Pending approval from the AAAI-87 Workshop Committee, I'll
place a formal announcement on AILIST and solicit participation. Thanks
in advance for your input. Steve Cross
************************************************************************
Workshop on Real-Time Processing in Knowledge-Based Systems
AI techniques are maturing to the point where application
in knowledge intensive, but time constrained situations is
desired. Examples include monitoring large dynamic systems such
as nuclear power plants; providing timely advice based on time
varying data bases such as in stock market analysis; sensor
interpretation and management in hospital intensive care units,
or in military command and control environments; and diagnoses
of malfunctions in airborne aircraft. The goal of the workshop
is to gain a better understanding of the fundamental issues that
now preclude real-time processing and to provide a focus for
future research. Specific issues that will be discussed include:
Pragmatic Issues: What is real-time performance? What
metrics are available for evaluating performance?
Parallel Computation: How can parallel computation be
exploited to achieve real-time performance? What performance
improvements can be gained by maximizing and integrating the
inherent parallelism at all levels in a knowledge-based system
(e.g., application through the hardware levels).
Meta-Level Problem Solving: How can intelligent problem
solving agents reason about and react to varying time-to-solution
resources? What general purpose or domain specific examples
exist of problem solving strategies employed under different
time-to-solution constraints? What are the tradeoffs in terms of
space, quality of solution, and completeness of solution.
Complexity Issues: How can an intelligent agent reason
about the inherent complexity of a problem?
Algorithm Issues: What novel problem solving methods can be
exploited? How can specialized hardware (for example , content
addressable memories) be exploited?
To encourage vigorous interaction and exchange of ideas
between those attending, the workshop will be limited to
approximately 30 participants (and only two from any one
organization). The workshop is scheduled for July xx, 1987, as a
parallel activity during AAAI 87, and will last for a day.
[Because of planning conflicts, we may meet on one evening and
lay plans for a more involved workshop in August or September].
All participants are required to submit an abstract (up to
1000 words) and a proposed list of discussion questions. Five
copies should be submitted to the workshop chairman by May 1,
1987. The discussion questions will help the workshop
participant's focus on the fundamental issues in real-time AI
processing.
Because of the brief time involved for the workshop,
participants will be divided into several discussion groups. A
group chairman will present a 30 minute summary of his group's
abstracts during the first session. In addition, the committee
reserves the right to arrange for invited presentations. Each
group will be assigned several questions for discussion. Each
group will provide a summary of their groups discussion. The
intent of the workshop is to promote creative discussion which
will spawn some exciting ideas for research.

********************************************************
The 12th IMACS WORLD CONGRESS' 88 on Scientific Computation
will be hold in Paris, France (July 18-22, 1988).
A one-day session of the Congress will be devoted to
SECOND GENERATION EXPERT SYSTEMS.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing Expert
Systems reasoning with Deep Knowledge, or any aspect of deep
reasoning ; the covered topics include:
- Model-Based Reasoning
- Qualitative Physics
- Multi-Level / Multi-Model Reasoning
- Reasoning from Structure, Behavior and Function
- Causal Reasoning
Papers can deal with both theoretical aspects of deep
reasoning and applications (diagnosis, process control,
simulation ...).
Emphasis will be put on work describing cooperation between
Heuristic and Deep Reasoning.
Submission Information :
========================
Submit three copies of a 1000 words abstract by August 1,
1987 to the Session Chairman. Papers will be accepted on
the basis of submitted abstracts. Notifications of
acceptance will be mailed by December 1, 1987.
Accepted papers will be either original contributions or
important survey papers.
Timetable :
===========
- abstracts submission: August 1, 1987
- notifications of acceptance: December 1, 1987
- full papers submission: February 15, 1988

Subject: Conference - Workshop on Computer Architecture for PAMI
CALL FOR PAPERS
1987 WORKSHOP ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE FOR
PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
Seattle, Washington
October 5 - 7, 1987
CAPAMI-87 will focus on new architectures and associated
algorithms designed for artificial intelligence
applications. This workshop is a successor of the Computer
Architecture for Pattern Analysis and Image Database
Management workshops which were held in '81, '83, and '85.
The emphasis of the program will be the presentation of
significant new contributions plus panel and discussion
sessions in which attendees can actively compare and
contrast their methods. Papers will be reviewed by the
Program Committee. No parallel sessions are planned.
TOPICS
* Computer Vision and Image Processing Architectures
* Architectures for Inference Engines and Rule-Based Systems
