SZKI-SZÁMALK seminar series
"Theoretical and Practical Issues of Programming" SZKI-SZÁMALK seminar series, between 1979-1985. These seminars, held weekly (usually on Fridays), were attended by an average of 70-100 people; there were always interested people from the countryside and neighboring states. At the lectures on the thematic processing of the Japanese V. generation project in 1982, the number of people often reached 150 people.
These regular meetings discussed current AI techniques and applications. The most important domestic results were usually presented by the developers themselves, but there were also presentations presenting foreign results (with a focus on logic-based topics due to domestic R&D work). The friendly and professional discussions following the presentations proved to be a very good workshop in the field of developing domestic Prolog systems, expert system development tools and applications developed by 1990.

The Program was announced quarterly or semi-annually in advance in the journal COMPUTER TECHNIQUES.
The excitement of the professional life at that time was also indicated by the fact that articles on domestic and foreign results, as well as thematic article series and target numbers presenting research areas, were published one after another in the professional journals Information Electronics and Measurement and Automation by the seminar speakers and other experts:
from the materials of the Japanese 5g.,
about expert systems,
other areas of artificial intelligence.
The poster depicting the Program, once displayed at the SZKI stand, can be seen in the Gallery. (The poster was “nailed up” at the stand by Edit Sántáné-Tóth and Júlia Sipka.)
