                                       THEME
    
               MACHINE INTELLIGENCE FOR AEROSPACE ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS
    
    A large amount of research is being conducted to develop and apply Machine 
    Intelligence (MI) technology to aerospace applications.  Machine 
    Intelligence research covers the technical areas under the headings of 
    Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems, Knowledge Representation, Neural 
    Networks and Machine Learning.  This list is not all inclusive.  It has been 
    suggested that this research will dramatically alter the design of aerospace 
    electronics systems because MI technology enables automatic or 
    semi-automatic operation and control.  Some of the application areas where 
    MI is being considered inlcude sensor cueing, data and information fusion, 
    command/control/communications/intelligence, navigation and guidance, pilot 
    aiding, spacecraft and launch operations, and logistics support for 
    aerospace electronics.  For many routine jobs, it appears that MI systems 
    would provide screened and processed ata as well as recommended courses of 
    action to human operators.  MI technology will enable electronics systems or 
    subsystems which adapt or correct for errors and many of the paradigms have 
    parallel implementation or use intelligent algorithms to increase the speed 
    of response to near real time.
    
    With all of the interest in MI research and the desire to expedite 
    transition of the technology, it is appropriate to organize a symposium to 
    present the results of efforts applying MI technology to aerospace 
    electronics applications.  The symposium will focus on applications research 
    and development to determine the types of MI paradigms which are best suited 
    to the wide variety of aerospace electronics applications.  The symposium 
    will be organizaed into separate sessions for the various aerospace 
    electronics application areas.  It is tentatively proposed that the sessions 
    be organized as follows:
    
    SESSION 1 - Offensive System Electronics (fire control systems, sensor 
    		cueing and control, signal/data/information fusion, machine 
    		vision, etc.)
    
    SESSION 2 - Defensive System electronics (electronic counter measures, radar 
    		warning receivers, countermeasure resource management, situation 
    		awareness, fusion, etc.)
    
    SESSION 3 - Command/Control/Communications/Intelligence - C3I (sensor 
    		control, signal/data/information fusion, etc.)
    
    SESSION 4 - Navigation System Electronics (data filtering, sensor cueing and 
    		control, etc.)
    
    SESSION 5 - Space Operations (launch and orbital)
    
    SESSION 6 - Logistic Systems to Support Aerospace Electronics (on and 
    		off-board systems, embedded training, diagnostics and 
    		prognostics, etc.)

                                GENERAL INFORMATION
    
    This Meeting, supported by the Avionics Panel will be held in Lisbon, 
    Portugal on 13-16 May 1991.
    
    It is expected that 30 to 40 papers will be presented.  Each author will 
    normally have 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions and 
    discussions.  Equipment will be available for projection of viewgraph 
    transparencies, 35 mm slides, and 16 mm films.
    
    The audience will include Members of the Avionics Panel and 150 to 200 
    invited experts from the NATO nations.  Attendance at AGARD Meetings is by 
    invitation only from an AGARD National Delegate or Panel Member.
    
    Final manuscripts should be limited to no more than 16 pages including 
    figures.  Presentations at the meeting should be an extract of the final 
    manuscript and not a reading of it.  Complete instructions will be sent to 
    authors of papers selected by the Technical Programme Committee.
    
    Authors submitting abstracts should insure that financial support for 
    attendance at the meeting will be available.
