     Dear (prospective general session participant):

You are cordially invited to attend the general  session  of
the   first   Workshop   on   Artificial   Intelligence   in
Medicine(AIM) , at which existing computer systems  and  new
methods  in  this  emerging  field  of  biocomputing will be
presented.   The  purpose  of  the  general  session  is  to
encourage discussion on the utilization of advanced computer
science techniques in medical consultation , model building,
psychiatric/psychological   interpretation  and  biochemical
system  analysis  and  synthesis,  and  to  disseminate  the
results of recent research on these topics.

     Because of  the  desire  to  encourage  discussion  and
interaction  among the participants, the size of the session
will be  limited  to  100-150  persons.   Attendance  is  by
invitation  only,  and  we  have attempted to select a group
that includes:researchers who  will  be  in  a  position  to
assess  the  applicability  of  advanced methods of computer
science (and particularly  of  artificial  intelligence)  in
their  own  areas; computer scientists who can advise on the
potential of their methods  in  the  biomedical  areas,  and
investigators interested in the use of computers in the life
sciences who wish to keep abreast of recent developments  in
this field.

     The enclosed schedule gives an  outline  of  the  day's
activities.   Please return the enclosed card to indicate if
you expect to participate.  We will then  mail  you  a  more
detailed   package   with  program  content  and  procedural
information about one month prior to the  session.   Also  ,
please  do  not  hesitate  to  contact  us  if  you have any
questions.

We hope that you will be able to attend.



Sincerely yours,


Casimir A.  Kulikowski
