Subject: Conference - Conceptual Graphs
SECOND ANNUAL WORKSHOP ON CONCEPTUAL GRAPHS
IBM Paris Scientific Center
2, 3, 4 September 1987
The first workshop on conceptual graphs was held at the IBM Systems
Research Institute in Thornwood, New York, in August 1986. As a result
of that workshop, a number of the participants have been writing
chapters for a forthcoming book, Conceptual Graphs for Knowledge
Systems, edited by John Sowa, Norman Foo, and Anand Rao. It should
appear in print in early 1988. This year, another workshop will be held
at the IBM Paris Scientific Center from September 2 to 4, 1987. The
conference chairman is Dr. Jean Fargues. Following is a preliminary
list of speakers and topics:
James BALDWIN & Anca RALESCU, University of Bristol (UK),
A Conceptual Graph Tool-kit Written in FRIL.
Henri BERINGER, Electronique Serge Dassault Corp (France),
Conceptual Graphs in Prolog.
Kathleen DAHLGREN, IBM Los Angeles Scientific Center (USA),

Norman FOO, Anand RAO, & John SOWA, Sydney University and IBM
Systems Research Institute (Australia & USA),

Pavel KOCURA, Heriot-Watt University (Scotland),
Thematic Relations Hypothesis and Conceptual Graphs.
Juan MORAN, Educational Testing Service, Princeton (USA),
Modeling the Acquisition of Expertise using Conceptual Graphs.
Jean-Francois NOGIER, Paris VII University, IBM Paris SC (France),
French Natural Language Generation from Conceptual Graphs.
Massimo POESIO, University of Hamburg (Germany),
Modified Case Frame Parsing for a Speech Understanding System.
Stephen REGOCZEI, Trent University (Canada),

Anyone who is interested in attending should write to,
Ms. Martine Torres
2nd CG Workshop
IBM Paris Scientific Center
36 avenue Raymond Poincare
73116 Paris, France
In the letter to Ms. Torres, please note the answers to the following
questions:
1. Would you like to give a talk? On what topic?
2. Do you need a hotel reservation? Very comfortable at 700 F per
night or good average at 500 F per night?
3. What are your arrival and departure dates?
For 1988, there are tentative plans for two workshops -- one in
Australia, probably in July, and another in Minneapolis either during
or after the AAAI conference in August.

CAPAMI '87
1987 WORKSHOP ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE FOR
PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
Seattle, Washington
October 5 - 7, 1987
CAPAMI '87 will focus on new architectures and associated algorithms for
computer vision, image processing, and artificial intelligence. This
workshop is a successor of the Computer Architecture for Pattern Analysis
and Image Database Management workshops. The program, given below, consists
of high-quality refereed papers, invited speakers, and panel sessions on
the design and implementation of parallel architectures and algorithms for
pattern analysis and machine intelligence. Invited speakers are: Tom
Knight, MIT, George Reeke, Rockefeller University, and Masatsugu Kidode,
Toshiba.
