Dear SIGMAN members and friends:

We would like to solicit nominations for the following SIGMAN positions (current position holders are listed in parentheses):

All positions are for two-year terms. The duties, as listed in the SIGMAN Charter, are:

Officers must be members of AAAI during their terms of office.

ACADEMIC CO-CHAIR, normally a full-time employee of an academic institution; duties shall include organizing and conducting the yearly business meeting, representing SIGMAN to the AAAI parent (the senior current CO-CHAIR PERSON shall be designated as the "AAAI Liaison"), promoting interaction between SIGMAN and other bodies, supporting the organization and execution of workshops, and assuring interaction between the sub-areas of SIGMAN.

MEMBER-AT-LARGE; duties shall include actively identifying problems of interest to the members, organizing workshops and other activities, and promoting cooperation among experts and practitioners in AI and Manufacturing.

Please send nominations to either of us by September 30, 1999. You should include contact information (e-mail and phone number) and a few lines of credentials for each nominee. The elections will be conducted by email or (snail) mail in October/November. Terms of office will begin at the end of November and last two years. These elections are conducted later than specified in the SIGMAN Charter, but they have been discussed and approved at the last annual SIGMAN Business meeting.
