                            GENERAL SESSION

                         Saturday,June 14, 1975

                       New Brunswick, New Jersey

                                 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.
