               COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, January 12, 1983.

               Prof. John Mylopoulos of the  University  of  Toronto
               will speak on "Knowledge Bases in Databases".

               TIME:  3:30 PM

               ROOM:  M&C 5158

               ABSTRACT

               We describe a simple knowledge representation  frame-
               work  based on semantic networks which emphasizes or-
               ganization and show how it deals with the representa-
               tion  of  procedures,  exceptions, scripts, syntactic
               patterns and assertions.  We also give an account  of
               applications  of  the  framework encountered in Data-
               bases and Software Engineering.

               The research presented is based on work  carried  out
               within  the Taxis project at the University of Toron-
               to.  The goal of the project is to provide tools  for
               the  specification  of requirements and the design of
               interactive information systems.

               Coffee and refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
