                  CGTOOLS: Conceptual Graph Tools Workshop

                          University of Washington
                          Seattle Washington USA.

                           Friday, August 8, 1997

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'97 conference.

In a short survey conducted earlier, 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
 * DEAKIN TOOLSET                         * LUT TOOLSET
 * CGKEE                                  * PEIRCE
 * CoGiTo                                 * GRIP
 * PROLOG+CG                              * CP
 * CGPro                                  * HamPeirce
 * CGeditor                               * PIP
 * CG-PENMAN

 KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION & MODELLING TOOLS
 * MODEL-ECS                              * CG-DESIRE
 * CG-KADS                                * GRIF-CGKAT
 * MDBCASE

 CG PROGRAMMING
 * SYNERGY                                * ECS
 * PROLOG+CG

 NLP & NLU (Natural Language)
 * RECIT                                  * NLG (University of Edinburgh)
 * CGLex                                  * BEE LINE

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:

   * External programming language interfaces
   * Natural language architecture
   * Information systems engineering
   * Inference/theorem proving mechanisms
   * Learning programs for cg's
   * Programming language: conceptual graphs with constraints
   * Programming standards
   * Knowledge Modelling
   * Specification Languages
