                      GENERAL SESSION

                           Theme:

          "KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS IN BIOMEDICINE"

This is the first  of  a  series  of  annual  AIM  workshops
designed   to  promote  better  insight  into  existing  and
potential  systems  that   apply   methods   of   artificial
intelligence  to  problems of biomedical research and health
care.   These  workshops  which  are  part  of  the  overall
national  AIM  activity,  are  based at the Rutgers Research
Resource on Computers in Biomedicine.  They are intended  to
help    develop   and   disseminate the  understanding   and
utilization of artificial intelligence techniques  to  their
full potential in biomedicine.

The 1975 theme of "Knowledge-based Systems  in  Biomedicine"
will   center  around  a  discussion  and  demonstration  of
existing systems for medical consultation,  model  building,
psychiatric/psychological    interpretation  and biochemical
analysis and synthesis.  A general session is being held  at
the  beginning of the workshop to encourage broad discussion
of the methods  and  applications  of  AIM  research, and to
interest possible future participants in this emerging field
within biomedical computing.  It  will  be  followed  by  an
in-depth 3 day workshop during which computer scientists and
biomedical users will study and  compare  the  systems,  and
develop recommendations for future directions in the field.
