"This comprehensive collection of essays presents the state of the art on this fascinating and challenging research topic. I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand how and why computers will eventually understand what it feels like to have a bad day at the office." Prices subject to change without notice. Since their inception in 1987, the Artificial Life meetings have grown from small workshops to truly international conferences, reflecting the field's increasing appeal to researchers in all areas of science.

We continue to look for excellent senior and junior researchers to add to our current strengths and to help us venture into new areas. The Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications (LHNCBC) is a division of the National Library of Medicine which is one of the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, the government's primary agency for support and conduct of biomedical research. LHNCBC provides opportunities for postdoctoral fellows, graduate and medical students, college students, and visiting faculty to participate in collaborative research in a variety of areas of medical informatics. Research activities involve both basic and applied informatics in several broad research areas. Knowledge-based research focuses on language and information processing, and expert systems.

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence held its 1991 Fall Symposium Series on November 15-17 at the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, California. This article contains summaries of the four symposia that were conducted.

A representation of the underlying structure of a discourse enhances the ability of a natural language system to interpret and generate a wide variety of linguistic phenomena.

We describe an application of a dynamic replanning technique in a highly dynamic and complex domain: the military aeromedical evacuation of patients to medical treatment facilities. U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agency responsible for evacuating patients during wartime and peace. Doctrinally, patients requiring extended treatment must be evacuated by air to a suitable medical treatment facility. The Persian Gulf War was the first significant armed conflict in which this concept was put to a serious test. The results were far from satisfactory--about 60 percent of the patients ended up at the wrong destinations.
