Autonomous high speed road vehicle guidance by computer vision
This paper describes a visual feedback control system which is able to guide road vehicle on well structured roads at high speeds. The road boundary markings are tracked by a multiprocessor image processing system using contour correlation and curvature models together with the laws of perspective projection.

OPGEN: The Evolution of an Expert System for Process Planning
Freedman, Roy S., Frail, Robert P.
Initial Development Approach In the following eight subsections, we present a brief discussion of methodology for expert system development, selection of problem and tools, knowledge engineering and prototype implementation, operational feasibility, and the actual development of a working prototype of a process planning expert system. Methodology for Expert System Development Expert systems require a software development methodology that differs in some respects from those methodologies used for conventional systems. Most knowledge-based development methodologies used by organizations experienced in building expert systems are similar in that they concentrate on the early (feasibility) stages of a project. Very little has been published on the later stages, which are concerned with expert system delivery, integration, and maintenance. During the development of OPGEN, we incorporated the lessons learned in these early stages and revised our original approach to provide for integration and maintenance. Most expert system development methodologies are a variation on the following theme, which paraphrases Haycs-Roth (1985): (1) expert system technology is determined to be relevant to a product; (2) management provides an opportunity for action; (3) a preliminary business application is assembled; (4) a knowledge engineering consultant verifies the opportunity; (5) a knowledge engineering project team is formed and assesses the knowledge; (6) the knowledge engineering project manager plans the project; (7) the user organization Figure 2 OPGEN bzput Circuit Layout Diagram.
Callisto: An Intelligent Project Management System
Sathi, Arvind, Morton, Thomas E., Roth, Steven F.
Large engineering projects, such as the engineering development of computers, involve a large number of activities and require cooperation across a number of departments. Due to technological and market uncertainties, these projects involve the management of a large number of changes. The Callisto project was born out of realization that the classical approaches to project management do not provide sufficient functionally to manage large engineering projects. Callisto was initiated as a research effort to explore project scheduling, control and configuration problems during the engineering prototype development of large computer systems and to devise intelligent project management tools that facilitate the documentation of project management expertise and its reuse from one project to another. In the first phase of the project, rule-based prototypes were used to build quick prototypes of project management expertise and the project management knowledge required to support expert project managers. In the second phase, the understanding of point solutions was used to capture the underlying models of project management in distributed project negotiations and comparative analysis. This article provides an overview of the problems, experiments, and the resulting models of project knowledge and constraint-directed negotiation.
Review of Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Other interesting topics in superb, it still contains inadequacies. This statement is more this chapter include nonmonotonic reasoning and modal and a testament to how remarkably difficult it is to write an adequate intentional logic. Perhaps the most intriguing chapter is introductory AI text than it is a criticism of the job done "Memory Organization and Deduction," which touches by the authors. Because there really are no single volumes upon the topics of frame-based representation and deductive yet that provide a satisfactory introduction to AI, the best retrieval and introduces the time-order representation approaches way to approach the problem of selecting text material for an of temporal system analysis and time map management introductory AI course seems to be use a book such as this .
A Knowledge-Based Consultant for Financial Marketing
Kastner, John, Apte, Chidanand, Griesmer, James
This article describes an effort to develop a knowledge-based financial marketing consultant system. Financial marketing is an excellent vehicle for both research and application in artificial intelligence (AI). This domain differs from the great majority of previous expert system domains in that there are no well-defined answers (in traditional sense); the goal here is to obtain satisfactory arguments to support the conclusions made. A large OPS5-based system was implemented as an initial prototype. We present the organization and principles underlying this system and offer our ongoing research directions. The experience gained in the initial prototyping effort is currently being used to further expert systems research and to develop an extensive system that ultimately can be used by the marketing organization.
