Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
The title of my paper covers a lot of territory, so my remarks will tend to be broad rather than deep. Some of the topics I will cover are: What is AI?; A brief history of AI; What is Knowledge Engineering?; What are Expert Systems?; Why should you care?; Examples of Expert Systems; Opportunities for NDE; Selecting appropriate problems; Criticisms of Expert Systems; Looking ahead.
