Artificial Intelligence and Symbolic Mathematical Computing: International Conference AISMC-1, Karlsruhe, Germany, August 3-6, 1992. Proceedings

This volume contains the papers, updated in some cases,

presented at the first AISMC (Artificial Intelligence and

Symbolic Mathematical Computations)conference, held in

Karlsruhe, August 3-6, 1992. This was the first conference

to be devoted to such a topic after a long period when SMC

made no appearance in AI conferences, though it used to be

welcome in the early days of AI. Some conferences were held

recently on mathematics and AI, but none was directly

comparable in scope to this conference.

Because of the novelty of the domain, authors were given

longer allocations of time than usual in which to present

their work. As a result, extended and fruitful discussions

followed each paper. The introductory chapter in this book,

which was not presented during the conference, reflects in

many ways the flavor of these discussions and aims to set

out the framework for future activities in this domain of

research. In addition to the introduction, the volume

contains 20 papers.
