The Fourth International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence will be 
held in Cancun, Mexico, on November 13-15, 1991. The Symposium is 
sponsored by the ITESM (Instituto Tecnologico y  de Estudios Superiores 
de Monterrey) and supported by  the International Joint Conferences on 
Artificial Intelligence Inc., in cooperation with the American Association 
for Artificial Intelligence, the Canadian Society for Computational 
Studies of Intelligence,   the International Association of Knowledge 
Engineers, the Sociedad Mexicana de Inteligencia Artificial and IBM of 
Mexico.

Papers from all countries are sought that: 
(1) present applications of artificial intelligence technology to the 
solution of  problems in Software Engineering, Data Base Systems, 
Computer Networks, Programming Environments,  Management 
Information Systems, Decision Support Systems and other Informatics 
technologies;  
(2) describe research  on techniques to accomplish such applications, 
(3) Address the problem of transferring the AI Technology in different 
socio-economic contexts and environments.

Areas of application include but are not limited to: 
Software development,  software design, software testing and 
validation, computer-aided software engineering, programming 
environments, structured techniques, intelligent databases, operating 
systems, intelligent compilers, local networks, computer network 
design, satellite and telecommunications, MIS and data processing 
applications, intelligent decision support systems.
AI techniques include but are not limited to:
Expert systems, knowledge acquisition and representation, natural 
language processing, computer vision, neural networks and genetic 
algorithms, machine learning, automated reasoning, search and problem 
solving, knowledge engineering tools and methodologies.     

Persons wishing to submit a paper should send five copies  written in 
English to:
