                            CALL FOR PAPERS
 
                  SPQR - Workshop on Multiple Models
 
                            March 12 and 13
                            Karlsruhe, FRG

Qualitative Modeling and Reasoning is the focus of the ESPRIT "Special
Project on Qualitative Reasoning" (SPQR). The project supports several
workshops on special aspects of Qualitative Reasoning. One of these
special aspects - namely the study of multiple models - will be
discussed at this 2-day-workshop at the Fraunhofer Institute for
Information and Dataprocessing in Karlsruhe (FRG).

Using multiple models of the same original seems to be a promising way
to deal with the tension between accuracy and handiness of a model.
These models may reflect different aspects or different views of the
same object, or represent the same object under different granularities
or in different formalisms.

The efficient use of multiple models affords some heuristic guidance
about how to select a model and how to efficiently combine the knowledge
derived from various models for some actual problem solving task.

Topics:
   We are interested in any of the following themes:
   - Formalization of relations between different models
   - Management of model bases, especially regarding consistency
   - Heuristics and requirements from experience with multiple models
     in application areas (e.g. diagnosis, planning, construction etc.)
     concerning e.g.
        - selection of the "best model"
        - changing the model
        - combining information from different models
        - combining qualitative and quantitative models
   - Any other interesting aspect of dealing with multiple models

Please submit extended abstracts (2-5 pages) addressing one of the
topics above. The number of participants at the workshop will be
restricted to 20 - 30 persons, according to the submitted papers. In
order to give room to discussions there will be about 8 - 10 talks at
the workshop.
