In Memorium: Jonathan J. King (1949-1991)

A five-year project, it is aimed at promoting cooperation among research centers, developing state-of-the art training and teaching programs, and demonstrating KBCS solutions to selected socioeconomic problems.

But even if it isn't way, and addresses significant tasks.

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.

A memorial tribute to AI researcher Jonathan King who died of cancer in 1991.

A survey of 150 papers from the Proceedings of the Eighth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-90) shows that AI research follows two methodologies, each incomplete with respect to the goals of designing and analyzing AI systems but with complementary strengths. I propose a mixed methodology and illustrate it with examples from the proceedings.
