Term Subsumption Languages in Knowledge Representation

The Workshop on Term Subsumption Languages in Knowledge Representation was held 18-20 October 1989 at the Inn at Thorn Hill, located in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. The workshop was organized by Peter F. Patel-Schneider of AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey; Marc Vilain of MITRE, Bedford, Massachusetts; Ramesh S. Patil of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); and Bill Mark of the Lockheed AI Center, Menlo Park, California. Support was provided by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and AT&T Bell Laboratories. This workshop was the latest in a series in this area. Previous workshops have had a slightly narrower focus, being explicitly concerned with KL-One, the first knowledge representation system based on a term subsumption language (TSL), or its successor, NIKL.
