Seven major research and KBCS applications, including expert logic programming (which teaching centers and a number of systems for government administration, seems to be well developed in India), associated institutions are involved expert systems for engineering and reasoning. The level of most presentations are the Center for the Development vision system applications, and was good and of an international of Advanced Computing (Pune), the KBCS applications in and for ancient flavor. The audience was Department of Electronics (New Indian sciences; and language-processing unusually active, initiating discussions Delhi), The Indian Institute of Science technologies, including natural and friendly controversies.

Case-based reasoning provides both a methodology for building systems and a cognitive model of people. It is consistent with much that psychologists have observed in the natural problem solving people do. Psychologists have also observed, however, that people have several problems in doing analogical or case-based reasoning. Although they are good at using analogs to solve new problems, they are not always good at remembering the right ones. However, computers are good at remembering. I present case-based decision aiding as a methodology for building systems in which people and machines work together to solve problems. The case-based decision-aiding system augments the person's memory by providing cases (analogs) for a person to use in solving a problem. The person does the actual decision making using these cases as guidelines. I present an overview of case-based decision aiding, some technical details about how to implement such systems, and several examples of case-based systems.

AI research is conducted at a number of academic and research units at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Some of this research is basic in nature, and some has an applied character to it. This article briefly describes basic AI research in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech.

Fields 3-8 of table 1 of the survey and general results, a discussion represent purposes, specifically, to define of the four hypotheses, and two sections models (field 3), prove theorems about the at the end of the article that contain details of models (field 4), present algorithms (field 5), the survey and statistical analyses. The next analyze algorithms (field 6), present systems section (The Survey) briefly describes the 16 or architectures (field 7), and analyze them substantive questions I asked about each (field 8). These purposes are not mutually paper. One of the closing sections (An Explanation exclusive; for example, many papers that of the Fields in Table 1) discusses the present models also prove theorems about criteria for answering the survey questions the models.

This article analyzes an attempt to use computing technology, including AI, to improve the combat readiness of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. The method of introducing new technology, as well as the reaction of the organization to the use of the technology, is examined to discern the reasons for the rejection by the carrier's personnel of a technically sophisticated attempt to increase mission capability. This effort to make advanced computing technology, such as expert systems, an integral part of the organizational environment and, thereby, to significantly alter traditional decision-making methods failed for two reasons: (1) the innovation of having users, as opposed to the navy research and development bureaucracy, perform the development function was in conflict with navy operational requirements and routines and (2) the technology itself was either inappropriate or perceived by operational experts to be inappropriate for the tasks of the organization. Finally, this article suggests those obstacles that must be overcome to successfully introduce state-of-the-art computing technology into any organization.
