Request for Survey Participation

I am conducting a survey of university faculty doing expert
systems research with a business emphasis, and hope to obtain a
widespread level of participation (note: I am a faculty member
doing this survey as part of my research efforts and in
conjunction with another professor, Benn Konsynski who is
visiting at Harvard this year and is normally with the University
of Arizona).

We are particularly interested in business oriented research
topics, including the application of expert systems to business
domains (e.g., finance, marketing, accounting, and so on) and the
management of expert systems projects.  A questionnaire is
available from me and can be obtained by email or regular mail.

To obtain a questionnaire, send a request to:

  On the arpanet:

     ELIOT@ECLA.USC.EDU

  Via regular mail:

     Dr. Eliot, Director
     Expert Systems Laboratory
     Systems Science Department
     University of Southern California
     P.O. Box 30041
     Long Beach, Ca. 90853-0041

The results of our survey will be summarized and made available
in a brief technical report.  We anticipate making presentations
at selected AI conferences regarding the survey results and have
been in contact with several interested AI journals.

We hope to distribute the survey and obtain the completed forms
back within the month of January.  So send for your survey today!


Dr. Lance B. Eliot
