Methodologies for Intelligent Systems

This volume contains papers selected for presentation at theSeventh International Symposium on Methodologies forIntelligent Systems (ISMIS '93), held at the NorwegianInstitute of Technology, Trondheim, Norway, in June 1993.The volume includes six invited talks and 43 contributedpapers organized under the following headings: logic forartificial intelligence, expert systems, intelligentdatabases, approximate reasoning, constraint programming,learning and adaptive systems, methodologies, knowledgerepresentation, and manufacturing.Theinvited talks are: "On extended disjunctive logicprograms" (J. Minker, C. Ruiz), "Towards intelligentdatabases" (F. Bry), "Methodologies for knowledge-basedsoftware engineering" (M. Lowry), "Modelling of industrialsystems" (L. Ljung), "The many faces of inductive logicprogramming" (L. De Raedt, N. Lavrac), and "Systematicassessment of temporal reasoning methods for use inautonomous agents" (E. Sandewall).
