                              The course
 
ECCAI (European  Coordinating Committee  for Artificial  Intelligence)
organizes biannual Advanced Courses in Artificial Intelligence open to
researchers and  practitioners of  AI from all countries. The level of
presentation is aimed at a highly capable and well prepared audience.
 
After the  first two Courses (Vignieu, France in 1985; Oslo, Norway in
1987), the  Swiss Group  for  Artificial  Intelligence  and  Cognitive
Science (SGAICO)  is happy  to announce  that the third course in 1989
will take place in Neuchatel (Switzerland).
 
With respect to evaluations of previous courses, ACAI'89 will focus on
two major  topics, namely  advanced knowledge  representation and  the
methodology of knowledge engineering.
 
Knowledge engineering  and its  related topics  are not  restricted to
expert  system   development  methodology   exclusively  but   to  the
development of  AI systems  in general. It is well recognized that the
lack of  an established  theory and  methodology is  one of  the  most
crucial issues within AI and pertinent to most of current research and
development efforts.
 
The course in 1989 will try to highlight different approaches to those
problems and  should lay  the grounds  for interesting  and productive
discussions.
 
The course is structured into the following main components
 
A series  of lectures  are to  cover advanced concepts in the field of
knowledge "handling"  in general  as well as in its various subfields,
e.g.  knowledge   acquisition,  knowledge   representation,  knowledge
verification, and  the entire  development of  "intelligent"  systems,
etc. Tutorial-style  lectures,  hands-on  training,  and  case-studies
should expose  methodology  and  techniques  together  with  pertinent
problems, solutions,  and limitations.  These detailed,  practical and
even technical  lectures and  workshops should provide the opportunity
to gain  insights and  experiences with current "hot topics" in AI and
allow participants  to evaluate these new trends with respect to their
own work.
 
Theory  lectures   will  also  cover  the  general  philosophical  and
epistemological  background   of  AI.  The  topics  relevant  to  that
discussion, e.g.  the relation of logic or of empirical methodology to
AI, the  deep questions  about the  "nature" of mind, etc., need to be
discussed and  reflected by  the community  of advanced AI workers. In
general, there  is not enough time to cover these issues in congresses
and workshops. Also, hopefully these lectures could provide some means
of integration  for people working within the many different subfields
of AI.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                             Course site
 
Neuchatel, the  beautiful course  site in  the French speaking part of
Switzerland, is  within easy  reach of  public transportation from all
over Europe.  It is located at the border of Lake Neuchatel and at the
foot of  the Jura  mountains. It is part of the charming littoral with
its picturesque  villages, old boroughs, vineyards, fields, and woods.
Together with  its university,  Neuchatel is  well prepared to provide
the participants  with  a  pleasant  working  atmosphere  as  well  as
enjoyable surroundings for sports, leisure, and weekend journeys.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                             The lectures
 
The speakers  are all  well known  within AI and a fair description of
their work  cannot  be  given  within  the  limited    space  of  this
announcement. A  large number  of reference  points may  be  found  in
books, scientific journals, conference proceedings a.s.o. (preparatory
reading lists will be sent to the participants).
 
Some of the topics to be presented and discussed at ACAI'89 within the
general  perspective   of  advanced   knowledge   representation   and
methodologies of knowledge engineering  are:
 
Belief  Systems,   Conceptual  Graphs,   Connectionist  Principles  of
Knowledge Representation,  Deep Reasoning,  Development Strategies for
Knowledge-based Systems,  Foundations of  AI, Functional  Approach  to
Knowledge  Representation,   Learning,  Metaphors,   Natural  Language
Issues, Philosophical  Issues, Role of Logic, Second Generation Expert
Systems, Situations and attitudes, Statistical Inference, Symbolic and
Neural Modeling Paradigms.
 
The  lectures  will  be  held  in  a  tutorial  style,  the  necessary
prerequisite to follow the classes is some background and knowledge of
the basic  themes and  techniques of  AI (e.g.  inference  mechanisms,
search),  basic   representation  formalisms   (e.g.  logic,  semantic
networks), and  some experience  with the  more applied  side  of  AI,
namely research traditions (e.g. solved and unsolved problems) as well
as applications of AI (e.g. implementation, programming).
 
The structure  of the  course is  based on the lectures, which will be
held mainly  in morning  and afternoon  sessions. For special interest
groups, evening  sessions may  be organized  on  request  (e.g.  mini-
tutorials, demonstration  of software,  presentation of whole research
groups).
 
Another part  of ACAI'89 will be devoted to discussions, round tables,
demonstrations, and  expositions. There will also be space and time to
present and discuss the participants own work with lecturers and other
participants. In  this respect,  the organizers  will try  to  arrange
informal meetings in small groups having common interests.
 
In order  to facilitate  discussions and  the  exchange  of  ideas,  a
"poster exhibition"  will allow participants to present their own work
in  the  pertinent  fields.  Participants  who  are  willing  to  give
demonstrations should  contact the organizers to provide the necessary
infrastructure.
