The chapters in this book examine the state of today's agent technology and point the way toward the exciting developments of the next millennium. Contributors include Donald A. Norman, Nicholas Negroponte, Brenda Laurel, Thomas Erickson, Ben Shneiderman, Thomas W. Malone, Pattie Maes, David C. Smith, Gene Ball, Guy A. Boy, Doug Riecken, Yoav Shoham, Tim Finin, Michael R. Genesereth, Craig A. Knoblock, Philip R. Cohen, Hector J. Levesque, and James E. White, among others. He then went on to outline that drive a field forward. Francisco's W Hotel, the conference not, to succeed when placed in front Along with the program committee, included work from researchers and of real users. He argued that we are the conference web site and online have faced increasingly challenging now living in a time where we can submissions and reviewing.

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence held its 2001 Fall Symposium Series November 2-4, 2001 at the Sea Crest Conference Center in North Falmouth, Massachusetts. The topics of the five symposia in the 2001 Fall Symposia Series were (1) Anchoring Symbols to Sensor Data in Single and Multiple Robot Systems, (2) Emotional and Intelligent II: The Tangled Knot of Social Cognition, (3) Intent Inference for Collaborative Tasks, (4) Negotiation Methods for Autonomous Cooperative Systems, and (5) Using Uncertainty within Computation. This article contains brief reports of those five symposia.

As a result, they knowledge of an agent (that is, its epistemic coarse-grained level of abstraction, KBwould argue, it is not possible to discuss state) can be characterized as the Ss can be characterized in terms of two the knowledge of a system independently collection of all possible worlds that components: (1) a knowledge base, encoding of the task context in which are consistent with the knowledge the knowledge embodied by the system is meant to operate. I won't held by the agent. If the knowledge of the system, and (2) a reasoning engine, go into too many details here because the agent is complete, then the epistemic which is able to query the knowledge a detailed discussion of the declarative state contains only one world. A base, infer or acquire knowledge from versus the procedural argument is well nice feature of Levesque and Lakemeyer's external sources, and add new knowledge beyond the scope of this review. The treatment of epistemic logic is that to the knowledge base. Levesque important point to make is that in contrast to many other treatments and Lakemeyer's The Logic of Knowledge Levesque and Lakemeyer's approach is of modalities, the discussion is reasonably Bases deals with the "internal logic" of situated in a precise AI research easy to follow for people who are a KBS: It provides a formal account of paradigm, which considers knowledge not experts in the field. This is the result the interaction between a reasoning bases as declaratively specified, task-independent of two main features of this analysis: engine and a knowledge base.

Recent years have witnessed significant progress in intelligent user interfaces. Emerging from the intersection of AI and human-computer interaction, research on intelligent user interfaces is experiencing a renaissance, both in the overall level of activity and in raw research achievements. Because intelligent user interfaces are designed to facilitate problem-solving activities where reasoning is shared between users and the machine, they are currently transitioning from the laboratory to applications in the workplace, home, and classroom.

In this special issue, we selected six of the papers, including one of the invited talks, and asked the authors to expand their conference presentations to provide more explanatory material. We believe these articles are representative of the current state of the art in innovative applications of AI.

The Council encouraged Science and Engineering Fair, to be sometimes after an appropriate the Conference Committee to gather held May 8-10 in San Jose. Carol asked waiting period agreeable to our copublisher, extensive feedback after the 2002 conference for a volunteer to replace Mel Montemerlo The MIT Press. The Council voted to gauge how well this new as the coordinator of the judging in favor of reaffirming this policy format was received.

The structure of the book makes examples and applications, and a section such as the agent's ability to it useful for practitioners from AI and dedicated to the relationship between perceive the environment and maintain general computer science as well as multiagent systems and various knowledge about it, reason about other areas such as aviation, transportation, other research areas. This book compiles said environment, and execute particular and business. The book presents the important concepts and actions to solve tasks. The design the basics of all the components methodologies required to develop a of a single-agent system, although not required to build a multiagent system.

The AAAI-2000 Workshop Program was held Sunday and Monday, 3031 July 2000 at the Hyatt Regency Austin and the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas. The 15 workshops held were (1) Agent-Oriented Information Systems, (2) Artificial Intelligence and Music, (3) Artificial Intelligence and Web Search, (4) Constraints and AI Planning, (5) Integration of AI and OR: Techniques for Combinatorial Optimization, (6) Intelligent Lessons Learned Systems, (7) Knowledge-Based Electronic Markets, (8) Learning from Imbalanced Data Sets, (9) Learning Statistical Models from Rela-tional Data, (10) Leveraging Probability and Uncertainty in Computation, (11) Mobile Robotic Competition and Exhibition, (12) New Research Problems for Machine Learning, (13) Parallel and Distributed Search for Reasoning, (14) Representational Issues for Real-World Planning Systems, and (15) Spatial and Temporal Granularity.

In this article, we describe some recent results and trends concerning hybrid neural symbolic systems based on a recent workshop on hybrid neural symbolic integration. The Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) workshop on hybrid neural symbolic integration, organized by Stefan Wermter and Ron Sun, was held on 4 to 5 December 1998 in Breckenridge, Colorado.

The Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference was held 18-22 July 1999 in Orlando, Florida. Ramasamy Uthurusamy was the Program Chair and Barbara Hayes-Roth was the Program Co-Chair. Although all the IAAI-99 papers and talks were certainly interesting and important, we present in this special issue of AI Magazine only a select subset because of page and other limitations. We include two invited talks and four applications as a snapshot of IAAI-99.
