Dagnegard, Lund Institute of Technology T. Hagglund, Lund Institute of Technology C. Rytoft, Asea Brown Boveri AB B. Wittenmark, Lund Institute of Technology Welcome Address: On behalf of the National Organizing Committee it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the second IFAC Workshop on Computer Software Structures Integrating AI/KBS Systems in Process Control, which will be held between 10 and 12 August 1994 in Lund, Sweden. The aim of the Workshop is to inform about where the leading edge is in the integration of AI/KBS systems in real-time process control, what the primary challenges are to future advances, and how computer science, process control, and related technologies can contribute to these advances. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge-based systems (KBS) has created a strong interest in applying these technologies to process control. The Workshop will focus on solutions that meet the needs of real-time operations, data synchronization, and execution speed while satisfying control systems functionality and integration constraints. New practical and theoretical avenues (in architectures, languages, executives) that provide a basis for effective coexistence of, and execution of, real-time and knowledge-based modules in modern process control systems are among the topics of interest. The scope of the Workshop includes software integration issues, knowledge representation and modeling, monito- ring and diagnosis, control, operator support, and applications. The preliminary program contains two plenary addresses and ten sessions with 38 papers selected by the International Program Committee from the draft papers submitted. An exhibition of relevant software and tools is organized in connection with the Workshop. The Workshop is located in the centre of the charming old university town Lund in the southern part of Sweden. An exciting program of social events will be arranged. I look forward to meeting you in Lund.
