                        CALL FOR PAPERS

                          IEEE Expert

                        Special Track on
                      AI in Manufacturing

IEEE Expert announces a Special Track on AI in Manufacturing,
edited by S. Buckley and S. Murthy.  A Special Track is a collection
of papers united by a theme that will run over several issues.
Previous Special Tracks in IEEE Expert include Object-oriented
Programming in AI, AI Applications in Process Systems, Knowledge
Acquisition, Functional Modeling of Devices, Case-based Reasoning,
Connectionist Applications, and Genetic Algorithms and their
Applications.

For the Special Track on AI in Manufacturing, articles should
describe actual working manufacturing applications.  There is
no restriction on the algorithms described.  Articles may be
of the following form, but are not limited to this form:

  - A case study which defines an interesting manufacturing
    problem, analyzes its complexity, and presents a working
    AI solution to the problem.
   - A description of the problems in a particular area or
    domain of manufacturing, and some actual AI applications
    that solve some of these problems.  In a broader sense,
    such an article could analyze which manufacturing problems
    are best suited for AI solutions.

  - A survey of diverse manufacturing applications which deploy
    a common algorithmic technique.  In a broader sense, such
    an article could analyze which AI techniques are best suited
    for manufacturing problems.

IEEE Expert is a magazine of applied AI.  The magazine is a bridge
between the research community and the user community.  It aims to
publish original papers that transfer to the user community ideas and
tools that come out of research and development.  Clear, not overly
formal, writing is essential.  Its readers are users, developers,
managers, researchers, and purchasers who are interested in databases,
expert systems, and artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis
on applications.  They want to learn about the tools, techniques,
concepts, aids, and systems that have potential for real-world
applications.  Conceptual or theoretical papers are welcome, provided
they serve the above function of clarifying and presenting ideas of
potential importance to applications.

Submissions should be written to conform to the IEEE Expert style.  The
final article should be about 8 to 9 printed pages, with about 10 to 12
references.  All submitted papers will be carefully reviewed.  Papers
accepted on technical grounds are subject to copy-editing by the
Managing Editor's staff for clarity and expressiveness.  Authors are
asked to submit six copies (hard-copy only) of their paper by
April 1, 1995 to the Guest Editor:
