A structured sequence of pre-conference tutorials on several aspects of
applied AI has been organised. Tutorial participants will be able to select
from a choice of tutorials to suit their specialist requirements.

The following are the list of tutorials organised for AI'94. All
participants of any of these tutorials may attend the talk entitled
"Introduction to Artificial Intelligence". This is a complementary session
for all tutorial participants.

*****************************************************************************
Examples of structured sequence of tutorials:
*****************************************************************************

There are couple of structured sequence of tutorials that one could adopt.
For example, if the participant is interested in logic/theoretical basis of
AI, then he/she may want to select the following sequence:

Day 1 9.30 - 10.30: Introdution to AI
 11.00 - 12.30: NMR(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: NMR(t)
 4.00 - 5.30: NMR(p)

Day 2 9.00 - 10.30: CBR(t)
 11.00 - 12.30: CBR(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: CBR(t)
 4.00 - 5.30: CBR(p)

Alternatively, if the participant is more interested in the applications of
AI, then the following sequence may be more suitable:

Day 1 9.30 - 10.30: Introdution to AI
 11.00 - 12.30: IDSS(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: IDSS(t)
 4.00 - 5.30: IDSS(p)

Day 2 9.00 - 10.30: FLFC(t)
 11.00 - 12.30: FLFC(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: FLFC(p)

If the interest is in Machine Learning/Knowledge Acquisition, then the
possible sequence may be:

Day 1 9.30 - 10.30: Introdution to AI
 11.00 - 12.30: TFML(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: TFML(t)
 4.00 - 5.30: TFML(t)

Day 2 9.00 - 10.30: ILDB(t) or KAM(t)
 11.00 - 12.30: ILDB(t) or KAM(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: ILDB(p) or KAM(d)

Another possible sequence may be:

Day 1 9.30 - 10.30: Introdution to AI
 11.00 - 12.30: EC(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: EC(t)
 4.00 - 5.30: EC(p)

Day 2 9.00 - 10.30: HS(t)
 11.00 - 12.30: HS(t)
 2.00 - 3.30: HS(d)
