The Spring Symposium on Knowledge-based Environments for Teaching and Learning focused on the use of technology to facilitate learning, training, teaching, counseling, coaxing and coaching.
Issues in the Design of AI-Based Schedulers: A Workshop Report
Kempf, Karl, Pape, Claude Le, Smith, Stephen F., Fox, Barry R.
Based on the experience in manufacturing production scheduling problems which the AI community has amassed over the last ten years, a workshop was held to provide a forum for discussion of the issues encountered in the design of AI-based scheduling systems. Several topics were addressed including: the relative virtues of expert system, deep method, and interactive approaches, the balance between predictive and reactive components in a scheduling system, the maintenance of convenient scheduling descriptions, the application of the ideas of chaos theory to scheduling, the state of the art in schedulers which learn, and the practicality and desirability of a set of benchmark scheduling problems. This article expands on these issues, abstracts the papers which were presented, and summarizes the lengthy discussions that took place.
Full-Sized Knowledge-Based Systems Research Workshop
Silverman, Barry G., Murray, Arthur J.
The Full-Sized Knowledge-Based Systems Research Workshop was held May 7-8, 1990 in Washington, D.C., as part of the AI Systems in Government Conference sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Mitre Corporation and George Washington University in cooperation with AAAI. The goal of the workshop was to convene an international group of researchers and practitioners to share insights into the problems of building and deploying Full-Sized Knowledge Based Systems (FSKBSs).
Theory and Application of Minimal-Length Encoding: 1990 AAAI Spring Symposium Report
This symposium was very successful and was perhaps the most unusual of the spring symposia this year. It brought together for the first time distinguished researchers from many diverse disciplines to discuss and share results on a particular topic of mutual interest. The disciplines included machine learning, computational learning theory, computer vision, pattern recognition, perceptual psychology, statistics, information theory, theoretical computer science, and molecular biology, with the involvement of the latter group having lead to a joint session with the AI and Molecular Biology symposium.
