                 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

This colloquium is organised by Professional Group C4
(Artificial Intelligence) of the Institution of Electrical
Engineers, in collaboration with the British Computer Society
Specialist Group on Expert Systems (SGES) and will be held at
the IEE, Savoy Place, London WC2 on October 17th and 18th
1996.

Knowledge Discovery has been defined as 'the non-trivial
extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially
useful information from data'. The underlying technologies
include rule induction, case-based reasoning, genetic
algorithms, neural networks and statistics. There is a rapidly
growing body of successful applications of these and other
related technologies in a wide range of areas including
manufacturing, telecommunications, marketing, medicine and
finance.

Contributions are invited on all aspects of Knowledge
Discovery from theoretical issues through to commercial
applications.

Prospective contributors are invited to submit an extended
abstract, outlining the material they propose to present, by
Friday July 12th 1996 at the latest. Speakers will receive
free entry to the colloquium and their travel expenses will be
reimbursed by the IEE.

Abstracts should be sent either by post or by electronic mail
to the colloquium chairman:

   Professor Max Bramer, Department of Information Science,
   University of Portsmouth, Milton, Southsea PO4 8JF.
