   AI'94 WORKSHOP ON KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS IN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

   University of New England, Armidale, N.S.W., Australia, November 22, 1994


THEME

Knowledge-based systems have been used with varying degrees of success in 
natural resource management for some time, in areas like agriculture, fisheries,
spatial modelling of landscapes, and forestry. This workshop aims to look at 
what features successful systems do have, at problem areas, and at fruitful 
directions for further development. In addition to applications, the focus will 
be on methods of knowledge acquisition and representation, user and system 
interface,  the integration of different forms of information technology, and  
the possibilities for knowledge sharing with similar systems. Of particular 
interest are papers addressing special difficulties which arise in the 
development of knowledge-based systems in this domain.  

The editor of the International Journal of Applied Expert Systems has agreed
to publish a special issue based on workshop papers. The papers will be
subject to another referring, and four will be selected.
