An effective to develop an abstract UI model which solution to this problem must have three encompasses the essence of those systems.

The Department of Computer Science at Louisiana State University (LSU) has been involved in robotics research since 1992 when the Robotics Research Laboratory (RRL) was established as a research and teaching program specializing in autonomous mobile robots (AMRS). Researchers at RRL are conducting high-quality research in amrs with the goal of identifying the computational problems and the types of knowledge that are fundamental to the design and implementation of autonomous mobile robotic systems. In this article, we overview the projects that are currently under way at LSU's RRL.

An 8 chip configuration can train 2.3 billion connections per second and evaluate 9.6 billion BP feed forward connections per second.

This srudy has demonstrated how artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to characterize seismic sources using high-frequency regional seismic data. We have taken the novel approach of using ANNs as a research tool for obtaining seismic source information, specifically depth of focus for earthquakes and ripple-fire characteristics for economic blasts, rather than as just a feature classifier between earthquake and explosion populations. Overall, we have found that ANNs have potential applications to seismic event characterization and identification, beyond just as a feature classifier. In future studies, these techniques should be applied to actual data of regional seismic events recorded at the new regional seismic arrays. The results of this study indicates that an ANN should be evaluated as part of an operational seismic event identification system. 1 INTRODUCTION ANNs have usually been used as pattern matching algorithms, and recent studies have applied ANNs to standard classification between classes of earthquakes and explosions using wavefonn features (Dowla, et al, 1989), (Dysart and Pulli, 1990).

Decision analysis and expert systems are technologies intended to support human reasoning and decision making by formalizing expert knowledge so that it is amenable to mechanized reasoning methods. Despite some common goals, these two paradigms have evolved divergently, with fundamental differences in principle and practice. Recent recognition of the deficiencies of traditional AI techniques for treating uncertainty, coupled with the development of belief nets and influence diagrams, is stimulating renewed enthusiasm among AI researchers in probabilistic reasoning and decision analysis. We present the key ideas of decision analysis and review recent research and applications that aim toward a marriage of these two paradigms. This work combines decision-analytic methods for structuring and encoding uncertain knowledge and preferences with computational techniques from AI for knowledge representation, inference, and explanation. We end by outlining remaining research issues to fully develop the potential of this enterprise.

Task-specific architectures are a growing area of expert system research. Evaluation is one task that is required in many problem-solving domains. This article describes a task-specific, domain-independent architecture for candidate evaluation. I discuss the task-specific architecture approach to knowledge-based system development. Next, I present a review of candidate evaluation methods that have been used in AI and psychological modeling, focusing on the distinction between discrete truth table approaches and continuous linear models. Finally, I describe a task-specific expert system shell, which includes a development environment (Ceved) and a run-time consultation environment (Ceval). This shell enables nonprogramming domain experts to easily encode and represent evaluation-type knowledge and incorporates the encoded knowledge in performance systems.
