                        INTRODUCTION
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(EPIA'95) will be held at Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal,
between October 3-6, 1995.  As in previous cases  ('89, '91,
and '93),   EPIA'95   will   be  run  as  an   international
conference,   English   being  the  official  language.  The
scientific  program  includes  tutorials,  invited lectures,
demonstrations, and paper presentations. The Conference will
include three parallel workshops on  Expert  Systems,  Fuzzy
Logic and Neural  Networks,  and  Applications  of  A.I.  to
Robotics  and  Vision  Systems.  These  workshops  will  run
simultaneously (see below) and  consist  of  invited  talks,
panels,    paper    presentations   and   poster   sessions.
Applications of Expert Systems Workshop  may last for either
1, 2 or 3 days,  depending  on  the  quantity and quality of
submissions.


           APPLICATIONS OF EXPERT SYSTEMS WORKSHOP
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expert Systems  are  being  intensively  used  in  industry,
finance, and other areas, in which  systems  for  supporting
decisions or implementing control strategies are crucial for
improving performance.
This workshop is intended to promote (i) the presentation of
systems which are  applications  in  those  areas,  (ii) the
discussion of relevant results from ongoing research or user
experience,  and  (iii)  the  critical  analysis  of  tools,
techniques, or systems.  Expert  System applications will be
preferred.  Second  generation  Expert Systems  as  well  as
systems  integrating  products of other areas as multimedia,
databases or communications are also welcome.
All  active  members  of Expert Systems community as well as
application developers working in related areas are  invited
to participate.


                         EXHIBITIONS
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~
In  order  to  illustrate   and   to   support   theoretical
presentations   the  organization   will   provide  adequate
conditions (space and facilities) for  exhibitions regarding
the three workshops mentioned. These exhibitions can include
software running systems  (several platforms are available),
video  presentations  (PAL-G VHS system),  robotics  systems
(such  as  robotics  insects,  and autonomous  robots),  and
posters.  On  the  one  hand,  this  space  will  allow  the
presentation  of  results and real-world applications of the
research developed by our community and,  on  the  other  it
will  serve  as a source of motivation to students and young
researchers.


                   SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Authors are asked to submit five (5) copies of their  papers
to  the  submissions  address by May 2, 95.  Notification of
acceptance  or  rejection  will  be  mailed to the first (or
designated)  author  on  June 5, 95, and camera ready copies
for  inclusion  in  the  workshop proceedings will be due on
July 3, 95.  Each  copy of submitted papers should include a
separate  title  page  giving  the  names,  addresses, phone
numbers   and   email  addresses  (where available)  of  all
authors, and a list of keywords identifying the subject area
of the paper.  Papers should be a maximum of  16  pages  and
printed on A4 paper in 12 point type with  a  maximum  of 38
lines per page and 75 characters per line ( corresponding to
LaTeX article style, 12 pt).  Double sided  submissions  are
preferred.  Electronic  or  faxed  submissions  will  not be
accepted.  Further  inquiries  should  be  addressed  to the

space for a limited number of other  participants  chosen on
the  basis  of a  one- to two-page  research  summary  which
should  include a list of relevant publications,  along with
an electronic mail address if possible.  A  set  of  working
