An Invitation . . .
The U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (TECOM) is pleased to
issue this call for papers for the TECOM Artificial Intelligence
Technology Symposium (TAITS), to be held at the Edgewood Area of
the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. TECOM is sponsoring TAITS in
conjunction U.S. Army Combat Systems Test Activity (CSTA) and in
cooperation with the International Neural Network Society (INNS)
Greater Washington D.C. Chapter.
The symposium is UNCLASSIFIED. Attendees include government
(military and civilian), academia, and industry representatives
from all phases of AI technology development, management,
application, testing, and utilization. Invited government and
industry experts provide informative presentations on requirements,
testing, utilization, and operational considerations.
TECOM provides technical direction and support for the symposium.
TRI-S Incorporated is providing technical and administrative
support.
Goals:
The major goals of the TECOM AI Technology Symposium include the
following:
Provide an opportunity to explore the latest advances in AI
technology.
Provide a forum for the interchange of information concerning
emerging AI technology, challenges, and concepts, with the intent
to leverage the spread of AI technology.
Identify and encourage joint research efforts, applications, and
technology transfer.
Identify issues related to testing AI systems.
Areas of Interest
UNCLASSIFIED papers are solicited from government, industry, and
academia that address technical research, concepts and system
development, test methodology, and operational systems utilizing
artificial intelligence technologies.
AI technologies of interest include, but are not limited to:
Artificial Neural Networks
Fuzzy Logic Systems
Genetic Algorithms
Expert/Knowledge-based Systems
Hybrid Systems
Application areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
AI-based Training Systems
AI-based Diagnostic Systems
AI-based System Validation
AI in Modeling/Simulation
System Control
Logistics Optimization
Dynamic Learning in Deployed Systems
Image Understanding
Data Fusion
Time Series Analysis and Prediction
Verification/Validation of AI Systems
Tutorials:
Tutorials of approximately 3 hours duration are planned for the
first day of the symposium. These comprehensive sessions will be
presented at no cost to attendees. Tutorial subjects include:
Overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Neural Networks
Fuzzy Logic
Genetic Algorithms
It is planned that each tutorial will be offered twice enabling
participants to attend two sessions of their choice.
Invited Speakers:
Speakers with a wide range of expertise from government, industry,
and academia will be invited to make feature presentations at this
year's symposium. Already on the agenda:
Dr. Paul Werbos, National Science Foundation, and
LTC Herbert Dollahite, Director, U.S. Army Artificial Intelligence
Center.
Displays and Demonstrations of AI Applications:
An area has been reserved in the conference center for displays and
demonstrations. Exhibitors interested in reserving space at the
symposium should contact Mr. Jeffrey S. Murter - Technical
Coordinator (address/DSN/commercial under for more information)
Tours of the U.S. Army Combat Systems Test Activity's unique
testing facilities will be offered concurrently with the scheduled
tutorials.
Call for Papers:
Papers are evaluated by the technical paper selection committee on
the basis of the abstract (500 words maximum). All abstracts
received, whether or not selected for presentation, which meet
minimum requirements will be published in the technical paper
abstract summary.
Papers must be original and address new advances or applications in
AI technology. Content should generally relate to one of the areas
of interest listed earlier.
Abstracts must be received by June 15, 1994. Abstracts must be
accompanied by a completed submittal form (at end). Please follow
the preferred format for submission of abstracts (contact TRI-S,
under for more information, for sample) and send three hard copies
plus WordPerfect or ASCII file (IBM-compatible), if available.
Abstracts and papers must be unclassified. It is the responsibility
of the author(s) to obtain appropriate approvals from their parent
organizations prior to final paper submissions. All papers must be
approved for public release and unlimited distribution.
Author Notification:
All authors will be notified of the technical paper selection
committee's action by June 30, 1994. Specific instructions for
preparing the final papers for presentation and publication in the
Technical Proceedings will be provided at the time of author
notification. The TAITS announcement detailing the program,
registration procedures, facilities, dining options, refreshments,
and accommodations will be mailed on July 15, 1994.
