				CALL FOR PAPERS

	              THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
	                              ON
	             INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
	                              OF
	            ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & EXPERT SYSTEMS

		  The City Chambers, Edinburgh, June 1-4, 1993

	This conference continues its tradition of emphasising applications of
	artificial intelligence and expert/knowledge-based systems to
	engineering and industrial problems. Topics of interest include but not
	limited to:

	Case-Based Reasoning		Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing
	Distributed AI Architectures	Expert & Diagnostic Systems
	Intelligent Databases		Intelligent Interfaces
	Intelligent Tutoring		KBS Methodologies
	Knowledge Acquisition		Knowledge Representation
	Machine Learning		Machine Vision
	Model-Based & Qualitative Reasoning
					Natural Language Processing
	Neural Networks			Pattern Recognition
	Planning & Scheduling		Practical Applications
	Reasoning Under Uncertainty	Robotics
	Sensor Fusion			System Dependability

	Authors are invited to submit papers for the conference. These may
	either be long papers (8 to 10 pages, suitable for presentation in 25
	minutes) or short papers (3 to 4 pages, suitable for presentation in 10
	minutes). Long papers should present the results of original research or
	innovative practical applications relevant to one or more of the listed
	areas of interest. Short papers need not make such a substantial
	contribution to the field, and in particular may report work in
	progress, or describe a practical application developed using well-tried
	techniques. Please indicate the area of submission as shown above, and
	submit by November 1, 1992 five copies of your paper (single spaced) to
	Dr Paul Chung, the Program Chair. Authors will be notified of the
	committee's decision by February 12, 1993. Final copies of papers will 
	be due for inclusion in the conference proceedings by March 19, 1993.
	General information and registration materials may be obtained from
	Dr Moonis Ali, the General Chair.
