Scope:

The Eighth Annual Goddard Conference on Space Applications of
Artificial Intelligence will focus on AI research and applications
relevant to space systems, space operations, and space science. Topics
will include, but are not limited to:

	o Knowledge-based spacecraft command and control
	o Expert system management and methodologies
	o Distributed knowledge-based systems
	o Intelligent database management
	o Fault-tolerant rule-based systems
	o Simulation-based reasoning
	o Fault isolation and diagnosis
	o Planning and scheduling
	o Knowledge acquisition
	o Robotics and telerobotics
	o Neural networks
	o Image analysis

Original, unpublished papers are now being solicited for the
conference. Papers must describe work with clear AI content and
applicability to space-related problems. Authors are asked to submit
abstracts first for initial review.

Accepted papers will be presented formally or as poster presentations,
which may include demonstrations.  All accepted papers will be
published in the Conference Proceedings as an official NASA document,
and select papers will appear in a special issue of the international
journal "Telematics and Informatics".  There will be a Conference
award for Best Paper.

Submission:

Abstracts should be 300-500 words in length. Two copies of the
abstract should be submitted by September 1, 1992 along with the
author's name, affiliation, address, and telephone number.
Notification of tentative acceptance will be given by September 16,
1992.  Papers should be no longer than 15 pages and must be submitted
in camera-ready form for final acceptance by November 16, 1992.
