	  	   CGTOOLS: Conceptual Graph Tools Workshop

			 University of New South Wales
                         Sydney, N.S.W., AUSTRALIA

                           Friday, August 23, 1996
				

The purpose of this workshop is provide an avenue for all researches and tools
developers working with Conceptual Graphs to exchange ideas, share experiences, 
compare notes and to evaluate progress from previous years. The CGTools Workshop
will take place over a full day immediately following the technical sessions of 
the ICCS-96 conference at Sydney.

In a short survey conducted at ICCS-95, four categories of CG Tools are 
currently being developed. Some of the these tools within each of the category 
are as follows:

CG PROCESSOR AND EDITORS		KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION & MODELLING TOOLS
========================		=======================================
o DEAKIN TOOLSET  o PROLOG+CG		o MODEL-ECS
o LUT TOOLSET				o CG-DESIRE
o CGKEE					o CG-KADS
o PEIRCE				o GRIF-CGKAT
o COGITO
o GRIT

CG PROGRAMMING			        NLP & NLU (Natural Language) 
==============				============================
o SYNERGY				o NLP (University Hospital of Geneva)
o EXECUTABLE CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURES	o NLG (University of Edinburgh)

The above list is by no means exhaustive. If we have missed any other tools out
there, please accept our apology, and send us some details on your tools so 
that we could update the above list. 

All CG tools developers are invited to participate in this workshop.  We also 
extend this invitation to researchers working in software development using 
conceptual graphs. Some areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
    o External programming language interfaces
    o Natural language architecture 
    o Information systems engineering
    o Inference/theorem proving mechanisms
    o Learning programs for cg's
    o Programming language: conceptual graphs with constraints
    o Programming standards
    o Knowledge Modelling
    o Specification Languages


Mode of Participation
======================

Submissions are invited for speakers to present at the workshop on the CG tools
and the CG applications they are developing. A 2 page extended abstract of your 
CG tools and/or the CG application is to be submitted via email by May 15, 1996. 
Activities of this workshop will consist of the following:
	o CG Tools and Application Description (Via Posters)
	o CG Tools and Application Demonstration 
	o Panel Discussion

Submissions: All submissions to cgtools@turing.une.edu.au by May 15, 1996.
