Dear EG-SEA-AI Member

Below is the call for abstracts for our special issue. Soon, you will be
receiving forms to subscribe to Artificial Intelligence in Engineering at a
reduced rate of fifty pounds. I hope you will take this opportunity to
subscribe and thus support our group's efforts to define a common forum for
the results of our research.

I am also looking forward to receiving your abstract by the end of this month. 

Regards

Ian Smith
Chair, EG-SEA-AI
