The list is intended to cover aspects of the application of artificial intelligence techniques to domains involving the natural World. Without being prescriptive, artificial intelligence would cover such areas as expert systems, knowledge representation, reasoning, learning, planning etc. Likely natural World domains include natural resource management, mining, water resources, defence, development planning and so on (agriculture would also fall within the area, but there is already a list covering agricultural expert systems). Areas for discussion include technical issues of such applications; social and managerial issues in the introduction of AI technologies; and a focus on the special technological needs of natural World systems, hopefully providing useful feedback into the AI research effort. The list is also available for such items as conference announcements, calls for papers, and in general any announcements of interest to the reading community. If you would like to subscribe, send a message to: Majordomo@adfa.oz.au containing the line subscribe ai-nat the welcome message in reply will give you full details about use of the mailing list. -- Bob McKay, Computer Science, Phone: +61 6 268 8169 fax: +61 6 268 8581 ADFA - UNSW, Northcott Dve, Campbell ACT 2600 AUSTRALIA The ADFA CS Dept offers postgrad coursework in information systems and research degrees in both CS & IS.
