Workshop on Objects and Artificial Intelligence

The Objects and Artificial Intelligence Workshop was held on 25 August 1991 in conjunction with the 1991 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The workshop brought together researchers in AI and objectoriented programming to exchange ideas and investigate possible avenues of cooperation between AI and objectoriented programming. The workshop dealt with both the theoretical and the practical aspects of this cooperation. AI, however, is looking for knowledge representation and programming techniques for developing complex applications and uses constructs (for example, frames) and notions (for example, classification hierarchy) that have similarities to constructs (for example, classes) and notions (for example, class inheritance) in object-oriented programming. The one-day workshop entitled Objects and AI, held in Sydney, Australia, on 25 August 1991 in conjunction with the 1991 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, was designed to investigate the differences and possible avenues of cooperation between AI and object-oriented programming.
