FIFTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
======================================================

Seville, Spain
October 1992

There is a Spanish saying which goes "the fifth one never turns
out bad", and the organizers of the 5th Symposium on Knowledge
Engineering hope to live up to this proverb. Of course, the success
of the previous ones means that they will be very difficult to
surpass, but, at all events, it is worth a try.

This having been said, "heuretics", in the sense of discovery,
would seem to be an appropriate leitmotiv for this Symposium, since
this falls in the year of the 500th anniversary of the Discovery of
America. Of course, all the traditional subjects and those of
previous symposiums on this field will be included. They are listed
below. But, the serendipitous aspects of any discovery and
intelligent behaviour should be stressed as being the most original
subject of this event:

- Causal, spatial and temporal modelling
- Deep modelling knowledge engineering
- Common sense reasoning
- Knowledge acquisition and machine learning
- Knowledge representation
- Natural language
- Knowledge engineering and education
- Philosophical basis and impact of the technology
- Cooperating expert systems
- Computer integrated manufacturing, robotics computer vision
- Neural networks
- Hybrid reasoning

Authors should submit four (4) complete copies of their papers.
Submissions should be limited to ten (10) double-spaced pages, and
the total text should not exceed 6,000 words. Papers will be
evaluated with respect to their relevance, clarity, correctness,
originality and significance. It is important to include specific
results, outlines of their derivation and comparisons with previous
work.

The following information must be submitted along with each
paper:

1.Author's name, address, telephone number and netmail address
(if possible).
2.The subject area (plus a set of 6 key words for further
classification).
3.An abstract of 100 to 200 words.
4.The length of the paper (number of words).

Important dates:

March 30th, 1992: Limit.
May 1992: Trial programme.
July 1992: Camera ready copies.
September 1992: Final programme.
October 5th, 1992: Symposium begins.

Papers should be submitted to:
