DESCRIPTION

.PP
Connectionist capabilities such as associative retrieval, approximate matching,
soft constraint handling and adaptation hold considerable promise for
supporting analogy-based reasoning, case-based reasoning and metaphor
processing.  At the same time, these three strongly related forms of processing
traditionally involve complex symbol structures, and connectionism continues to
have difficulty in providing the benefits normally supplied by such structures.
Recently, some connectionist approaches to metaphor, analogy and case-based
reasoning have begun to appear, and the purpose of our volume is to encourage
further work and discussion in this area.
.PP
The volume will include both invited and submitted peer-reviewed articles.  We
are seeking submissions from researchers in any relevant field \*- artificial
intelligence, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and others.  Articles can be
positive, neutral or negative on the applicability of connectionism to
analogy/metaphor/case-based processing.  They can be of any type, including
subfield reviews, general discussions, critiques, detailed presentations of
models or supporting mechanisms, formal theoretical analyses, empirical
studies, and methodological studies.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

Submissions may be sent to either editor, by 20 November 1990.  The suggested
length is 7000-20,000 words excluding figures, references, abstract and so on.
Format details, etc. will be supplied on request.

Authors are strongly encouraged to discuss ideas for possible submissions with
the editors.
