Some research issues of interest: Indexing: What indexing methods are appropriate and feasible for knowledge navigation systems? How can indices be extracted from data? Retrieval: What retrieval methods are appropriate for knowledge navigation? What retrieval strategies can be employed? Learning: How can knowledge navigation systems adapt to a changing knowledge environment and to user needs? User interfaces: What are the characteristics of a useful navigational interface? What roles can/should an "agent" metaphor play in such interfaces? How can a navigation system orient the user in the information space? Multi-source integration: How can multiple data and knowledge sources be integrated to address users' needs? Multimedia: What are the challenges presented by multimedia information sources? The symposium will consist of invited talks, presentations, and hands-on demonstration/discussion sessions. Researchers with interests in any of these issues are invited to submit 1 page (no more than 700 word) position papers on one or more of these topics. Submit via email either (1) an ASCII version of the position paper, (2) a URL pointing to an ASCII file, to the address aiakn@cs.uchicago.edu. Or send 2 hard copies to Robin Burke AI Applications in Knowledge Navigation University of Chicago, Department of Computer Science 1100 E. 58th St. Chicago, IL 60637.
