CO-SPONSORS - British Computer Society - Directorate General for Industry of the CEC - Gesellschaft for Informatik (G1) - Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (UKRI and Systems, Man & Cybernetics Society) - International Federation of Automatic Control INTRODUCTION Following the highly successful First International Conference on Intelligent Systems Engineering, held in Edinburgh during August 1992, the second Conference (ISE 94) will be held at the Technical University of Hamburg- Harburg in Germany, during 5-8th September 1994. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for reporting significant results on the theory and application of Artificial Intelligence techniques to Engineering problems. The conference will contribute to bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and the various engineering disciplines, and should show how these fields can be combined to build Intelligent Systems for Engineering. An exhibition showing recent developments and demonstrations of the results of EC funded research projects is planned. The Conference is in association with the Journal, Intelligent Systems Engineering. SCOPE We seek to publish original contributions to the Principals, Techniques and Applications of Intelligent Systems in Engineering. Contributions to Principals may include theoretical analysis of the properties or methodological issues in the specification or application of such systems. Papes on Tools and Techniques should describe the development or extension of Al-based methods and their implementation. Such papers should also discuss the assumptions and limitations associated with the proposed methods. Application papers should describe a significant implementation of Intelligent Systems to an Engineering problem, and should be supported by adequate experimental results to allow the evaluation of the approach. The scope of the conference can be taken as the full range of Engineering applications. We group these into four categories: 1. Reasoning (a) Qualitative Modelling and Simulation (b) Causal Reasoning (c) Uncertain and Fuzzy Reasoning (d) Non-Monotonic Reasoning (e) Temporal Reasoning (f) Case-Based Reasoning (g) Functional Reasoning (h) Machine Learning and Genetic Algorithms (i) Time-Constrained Reasoning (j) Learning Automata (k) Combined Analytical Modelling and Knowledge Representation 2. Architectures (a) Expert Systems (b) Model-Based Systems (c) Multiple-Model Systems (d) Artificial Neural Networks (e) Distributed Knowledge Based Systems (f) Hetereogeneous Systems (g) Architectures for Intelligent Systems (h) Real-Time Systems 3. Development Tools (a) Knowledge Acquisition (b) Knowledge Refinement (c) Knowledge Validation and Evaluation (d) Model Building Tools (e) User Interfaces (f) Methodological Approaches 4. Applications (a) Fuzzy and Intelligent Control (b) Classification by Neural Networks (c) Process Monitoring and Supervision (d) Fault Detection and Diagnosis (e) Industrial Training Systems (f) Production Planning and Scheduling (g) Image and Speech Understanding (h) Real-Time Al-Based Systems (i) Intelligent Computer-Aided Design (j) Intelligent Robotics (k) Automonous Vehicles CONTRIBUTIONS Full papers should be submitted to the IEE Conference Services Department on or before 25th February 1994. Papers should not exceed 5000 words. Authors are requested to classify their proposed contribution using the categories given in the Scope. Papers must be original and must not have been published before; authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a copyright transfer form. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at least two internationally respected referees. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings by the IEE. Contributions that are considered to be significant may be invited to submit extended versions of the paper to the Journal, Intelligent System Engineering. SCHEDULE Receipt of full papers for consideration 25 February '94 Notification of acceptance May '94 Receipt of camera-ready manuscript June '94 CONFERENCE DETAILS The Conference will be held at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, Germany on 5-8th September 1994.
