applications of AI in industry;
2. to provide practising engineers exposure to and an evaluation
of current research, tools, and practices in industry;
3. to provide the research community a forum for exposing them to
the problems of the practical applications of AI in industry;

SYMPOSIUM TOPICS
Papers describing applied research and deployed applications that
include some aspects of Artificial Intelligence technology are
particularly sought. Topics of the symposium include all areas of AI
application development, project management, systems evaluation and
deployment. Papers for this symposium can address any of the following
combination of issues:
Discussions of applications with performance evaluation data
Ongoing efforts to develop large-scale or domain-specific
knowledge bases or ontologies
Development of domain or task focused tools, techniques, or methods
Evaluations of AI tools, techniques or methods for domain
suitability
Unsuccessful attempts to apply particular tools, techniques or
methods to specific domains (which provide insights into the
applicability and limitations of the tool, technique or method)
System architectures that work
Scalability of techniques
Integration of AI with other technologies
System and software engineering of intelligent systems
Development methodologies
Validation and Verification
Lessons learned
Social and other technology transition issues
Successful or Failed Project Management Methodology, Tools and
Techniques
Successful or Failed Knowledge Acquisition and Modelling Efforts
We are particularly interested in the integration issues, and
specifically interested in why certain applications fail to be
deployed.
IMPORTANT DATES FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS
15 June 2000 Submission deadline for papers
15 July 2000 Paper notification deadline
