Conference on Intelligent Control

[KOKAR@northeastern.edu]

              The 5-th IEEE International Symposium
                   on Intelligent Control



                 Penn Tower Hotel, Philadelphia
                      September 5 - 7, 1990


               Sponsored by IEEE Control Society


The IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control is the Annual
Meeting dedicated to the problems of Control Systems associated with
combined Control/Artificial Intelligence theoretical paradigm.

This particular meeting is dedicated to the 

       Perception - Representation - Action

                       Triad.

The Symposium will consist of three mini-conferences:

Perception as a Source of Knowledge for Control (Chair - H.Wechsler)

Knowledge as a Core of Perception-Control Activities (Chair - S.Navathe)

Decision and Control via Perception and Knowledge (Chair - H.Kwatny)


intersected by


Three Plenary 2-hour Panel Discussions:

I. On Perception in the Loop

II. On Action in the Loop

III. On Knowledge Representation in the Loop.



Suggested Topics of Papers are not limited to the following list:

- Intractable Control Problems in the Perception-Representation-Action Loop

- Control with Perception Driven Representation

- Multiple Modalities of Perception, and Their Use for Control

- Control of Movements Required by Perception

- Control of Systems with Complicated Dynamics
