This year we will focus on techniques and applications that deal with
actual industrial and aerospace applications of AI, machine learning,
and reasoning systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
1. Machine Learning
2. Industrial and Aerospace Applications
3. Diagnostic Systems
4. Knowledge Acquisition and Refinement
5. Knowledge Based Systems: Verification and Validation
6. Manufacturing Systems
7. Case-Based Reasoning
8. Functional Reasoning
9. Model-Based and Qualitative Reasoning
10. Multilevel and Integrated Reasoning Systems
11. Planning and Scheduling
12. Design
13. Training and Tutoring Systems
14. Intelligent Interfaces and Natural Language Processing
15. Intelligent Database Systems
16. Parallel Architectures
In addition there will be 2-3 plenary sessions, and one or more panel
discussions. We also solicit suggestions for special sessions (e.g., Case-Based
Tutoring, Reactive Planning in Space Missions). A one-page description of such
a suggestion should be sent to the Conference Chairs, who will then forward it
to appropriate members of the Program Committee for evaluation. Selection will
be based on how well the topic relates to the general theme of the conference,
and the level of interest it is likely to generate.
To submit a paper, send four copies of a complete paper not exceeding 10 pages
single-spaced (approx. 5000 words) including figures and bibliography by
September 14, 1992 to:
Applications of AI XI: KBS
SPIE, P.O. Box 10
1000 20th Street
Bellingham, WA 98225.
Tele: (206)-676-3290; Telefax: (206)-647-1445.
Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee
and reviews will be returned to the authors. It is important that
each paper clearly state the problem which is being addressed, the contribution
that has been made, and the relation to the current state of the art.
The program committee and conference chairs will make a selection of the best
papers accepted, and these authors will be invited to submit a revised version
of their paper to one or more special issues of journals in AI (to be decided
later).
Papers submitted to the Knowledge-Based Systems conference should not also be
submitted to the Machine Vision & Robotics conference of Applications of AI XI.
Questions about which conference is most suitable for a particular paper
should be directed to the program chairmen.
Each presenter is generally allowed 20 to 25 minutes for presentation, plus a
brief discussion period (about 5 minutes). SPIE will provide the following
media equipment free of charge: 35 mm carousel slide projectors, overhead
projectors, electronic pointers and VHS format video display.
Author Benefits
Authors and coauthors who attend the conference will be accorded a
reduced-rate registration fee, a complimentary one-year non-voting
membership in SPIE (if never before a member), and other special benefits.
IMPORTANT DATES: PAPERS DUE: September 14, 1992.
ACCEPT/REJECT LETTERS SENT BY: November 20, 1992
CAMERA-READY PAPERS (5000 words) DUE: January 18, 1993.

PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME
SPONSORED BY RANK XEROX ESPANOLA, S.A.
INTRODUCTION
Human beings very often tend, mistakenly, to look at differences as
if they were contradictions, and therefore focuses and techniques
from different fields are prevented from being used as support. The
division of the phenomenal world into contradictory pairs is, as the
recently deceased Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine, K. Lorenz (1974)
said, "an unknown ordering principle, an aprioristic mental
imperative with distant origins. The resulting tendency to create
mutually exclusive disjunctive concepts is clearly predominant among
many thinkers. Although this mental predisposition is of great
importance, it has to be brought to a halt", at least in the area of
software. Of course, great intellectual rigour is needed to hold down
this antithetic, though productive, human faculty.
The paradigm of power, that is, the massive use of search as
intensive computational power, and the paradigm of knowledge as
intensive intellectual work were antagonistic until a few years ago
in AI; the extremes were reconciled by the use of heuristics and
other kinds of knowledge which guide and put constraints on the
search.
Owing to the importance of heuristics and the processes of discovery
in AI, linked with the fact that the 500th Anniversary of the
Discovery of America is being commemorated this year, it was thought
appropriate for the leitmotiv of the 5th Symposium to be Heuristics
and Discovery, and the conference will also deal with a little known
eventuality very much associated with discovery called serendipity.
The Organizing Committee is aware that it is very difficult to
improve upon the company of speakers in former years, which has
included the Nobel prize winner Simon, the father of Artificial
Intelligence McCarthy, Jaime Carbonell, among other outstanding
members of the AI community. However, we have managed to gather an
extraordinary array of AI researchers and scientists for this
Symposium, given the historical event that is being commemorated.
The organizers would like to thank Rank Xerox Espanola for sponsoring
this, the 5th International Knowledge Engineering Symposium.
With the collaboration of:
- AAAI (American Association for Artificial Intelligence) (pending
confirmation)
- FESI (Federacion Espanola de Sociedades de Informatica)
- IAKE (International Association of Knowledge Engineers)

Subject: Announcement: Koji Nakatogawa returns to CSLI
KOJI NAKATOGAWA
(koji@csli.stanford.edu)
Professor of Philosophy
Hokkaido University, Japan
Dates of Visit: August-October 1992
During his stay at CSLI, Koji Nakatogawa plans to work on Tarski's
semantics and its relation to the later developments in semantical
investigations. He is currently concerned with comparing some of the
recent attempts to reconstruct the proof of a claim made by Tarski in
his paper on logical consequence. Nakatogawa received an MA in
mathematics (Berkeley) and a PhD in philosophy (Tsukuba). His other
interests include nonclassical logics and applications of category
theory.
