Ohio State University) focused on the use of case-based reasoning for both planning and world modeling. Nicola Muscettola (NASA Ames) focused on reactive behaviors. Laboratory) described an approach Within this general theme, to planning with multiagent the aim was to bring together researchers execution. The presentation ecent developments in multiagent shown promising results in the robotics, intelligent autonomous of Thomas Wagner (University of modeling of autonomous, collaborative vehicles). The common denominator Brement), Christoph Schlieder (University behavior between agents in different that these groups share is the pragmatic of Bamberg), and Ubbo Visser environments.

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with Stanford University's Department of Computer Science, presented the 2003 Spring Symposium Series, Monday through Wednesday, 24-26 March 2003, at Stanford University. The titles of the eight symposia were Agent-Mediated Knowledge Management, Computational Synthesis: From Basic Building Blocks to High- Level Functions, Foundations and Applications of Spatiotemporal Reasoning (FASTR), Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems in Complex Environments, Intelligent Multimedia Knowledge Management, Logical Formalization of Commonsense Reasoning, Natural Language Generation in Spoken and Written Dialogue, and New Directions in Question-Answering Motivation.

TALplanner is a forward-chaining planner that utilizes domain-dependent knowledge to control search in the state space generated by action invocation. The domain-dependent control knowledge, background knowledge, plans, and goals are all represented using formulas in a temporal logic called tal, which has been developed independently as a formalism for specifying agent narratives and reasoning about them. In the Fifth International Artificial Intelligence Planning and Scheduling Conference planning competition, TALplanner exhibited impressive performance, winning the Outstanding Performance Award in the Domain-Dependent Planning Competition.
