Full Description
This volume presents selected papers from KBCS '89, which is the second in a series of annual conferences hosted by the Knowledge Based Computer Systems Project funded by the Government of India with United Nations assistance. The papers are grouped into sections including: - AI applications - computer architecture and parallel processing - expert systems - intelligent tutoring systems - knowledge representation - logic programming - natural language understanding - pattern recognition - reasoning - search - activities at the KBCS Nodal Centres.
