IFAC/IFIP/IMACS Symposium on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN REAL TIME CONTROL
AIRTC'94
3-5 October 1994
Valencia, SPAIN
===========================================================================
SCOPE
This Symposium is intended to provide an international forum for
presentation
and discussion of concepts and application of artificial intelligence
techniques in the design, implementation, testing, supervision and
monitoring
of real time control systems. The previous Symposium was held in Delft
(1992),
and was the first symposium after o three successful workshops in the same
field.
The objective of the Symposium is to bring together control systems
specialists,
artificial intelligence specialists and end-users.
