Back issues are available from host archive.cs.rpi.edu [128.213.3.18] in
the files nl-kr/Vxx/Nyy (ie nl-kr/V01/N01 for V1#1), mail requests will
not be promptly satisfied. Starting with V9, there is a subject index
in the file INDEX. If you can't reach `cs.rpi.edu' you may want
to use `turing.cs.rpi.edu' instead.
BITNET subscribers: we now have a LISTSERVer for nl-kr.
You may send submissions to NL-KR@RPITSVM
and any listserv-style administrative requests to LISTSERV@RPITSVM.

I am curious what knowledge representation systems are publicly
available to educational/research institutions. Where can I get
them from? Are there any ftp sites? In terms of our application
requirements, we require:
- ability to store rules
- abilty to store rich semantic information in some frame-based system
- user definable operators
- user definable classes
- ease of integrating with relational databases
- language support for C, or C++, or Common Lisp, or CLOS
- compilable on ULtrix, or some standard UNIX OS.
I have considered CLASSIC that is available from AT&T Bell Labs.
Others that come to my mind are extension to KL-like systems.
However, I do not know where I can acquire them. Hence, any
pointers to where I can acquire them particularly if the software
has been used for real applications would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Effective processes are critical to an organization's
- day-to-day operation,
- medium and long-range planning,
- marketing and sales, and
- product/service development and delivery.
One key to process effectiveness is their integration, the
degree to which the processes complement each other and work
smoothly together.
Three communities are currently addressing the issues
surrounding the creation and evolution of well-defined, well-
supported processes exhibiting high degrees of integration:
- The process support community is addressing techniques
and technology to assist process definition and
performance, with a special but non-exclusive emphasis
on software processes.
- The organizational development community is addressing
people-related issues (communication, high-performance
teams, team leadership. etc.) which facilitate
management and collaboration.
- The business process re-engineering community is
addressing approaches to re-designing and iteratively
improving an organization's operational, managerial
and planning processes.
Each of these communities are contributing to improving an
organization's competitive advantage through well-integrated
processes. Each is, however, addressing different process
aspects and different concerns within an organization. The
prospects for process integration will be greatly improved by
building bridges among these three "islands" of activity.
The intent of the four-day Symposium on Process Integration
is to initiate cross-fertilization and collaboration across
the process support, organizational development and business
process re-engineering communities. The Symposium's first two
days will be devoted to presentations and panels involving
leaders from the three communities. Discussion periods will
allow for audience participation. The Symposium's third and
fourth days will be devoted to half and full-day seminars and
workshops on specific topics.
A final program and registration material will be available
in late-Summer 1993. To receive this program and material,
please send contact information to:

I'm new to the whole NL thing, and I'm curious: could someone explain to me the
current methods and associated theories being used in NL programming today?
More precisely, are we taking a semantical-programming approach, or a true
AI approach?
Thank you for all responses.
