- INTRODUCTION
-
- Human beings very often tend, mistakenly, to look at differences as
- if they were contradictions, and therefore focuses and techniques
- from different fields are prevented from being used as support. The
- division of the phenomenal world into contradictory pairs is, as the
- recently deceased Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine, K. Lorenz (1974)
- said, "an unknown ordering principle, an aprioristic mental
- imperative with distant origins. The resulting tendency to create
- mutually exclusive disjunctive concepts is clearly predominant among
- many thinkers. Although this mental predisposition is of great
- importance, it has to be brought to a halt", at least in the area of
- software. Of course, great intellectual rigour is needed to hold down
- this antithetic, though productive, human faculty.
-
- The paradigm of power, that is, the massive use of search as
- intensive computational power, and the paradigm of knowledge as
- intensive intellectual work were antagonistic until a few years ago
- in AI; the extremes were reconciled by the use of heuristics and
- other kinds of knowledge which guide and put constraints on the
- search.
-
- Owing to the importance of heuristics and the processes of discovery
- in AI, linked with the fact that the 500th Anniversary of the
- Discovery of America is being commemorated this year, it was thought
- appropriate for the leitmotiv of the 5th Symposium to be Heuristics
- and Discovery, and the conference will also deal with a little known
- eventuality very much associated with discovery called serendipity.
-
- The Organizing Committee is aware that it is very difficult to
- improve upon the company of speakers in former years, which has
- included the Nobel prize winner Simon, the father of Artificial
- Intelligence McCarthy, Jaime Carbonell, among other outstanding
- members of the AI community. However, we have managed to gather an
- extraordinary array of AI researchers and scientists for this
- Symposium, given the historical event that is being commemorated.
-
- The organizers would like to thank Rank Xerox Espanola for sponsoring
- this, the 5th International Knowledge Engineering Symposium.
-
- With the collaboration of:
- - AAAI (American Association for Artificial Intelligence) (pending
- confirmation)
- - FESI (Federacion Espanola de Sociedades de Informatica)
- - IAKE (International Association of Knowledge Engineers)
