Now completing its first year, the High-Performance Knowledge Bases Project promotes technology for developing very large, flexible, and reusable knowledge bases. The project is supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and includes more than 15 contractors in universities, research laboratories, and companies. The evaluation of the constituent technologies centers on two challenge problems, in crisis management and battlespace reasoning, each demanding powerful problem solving with very large knowledge bases. This article discusses the challenge problems, the constituent technologies, and their integration and evaluation.

Researchers and technology developers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), other government agencies, academia, and industry recently met in Pasadena, California, to take stock of past and current work and future challenges in the application of AI to highly autonomous systems. The meeting was catalyzed by new opportunities in developing autonomous spacecraft for NASA and was in part a celebration of the fictional birth year of the HAL-9000 computer.

After a summary of the rules, we outline the high and low points of the competition. Devising a sweep pattern on a bounded established in past contests. The only wrinkle uncluttered surface to ensure complete coverage concerned bag capacity: if the robot encountered is a well-formed and solved problem. A domestic or small office venue offered Points were awarded for cleaning the messes more complexity. The areas were smaller and (or just moving over them) and making contained more furniture.

To remain competitive, enterprises must become increasingly agile and integrated across their functions. Enterprise models play a critical role in this integration, enabling better designs for enterprises, analysis of their performance, and management of their operations. This article motivates the need for enterprise models and introduces the concepts of generic and deductive enterprise models. It reviews research to date on enterprise modeling and considers in detail the Toronto virtual enterprise effort at the University of Toronto.

Lull's writings advanced the idea vert to Christianity because of a cognitive that non-mathematical reasoning can in artificial intelligence have defect. Some of appreciate the vast array of the combinations process, and that reasoning the most fundamental, surely, are that of God's or Christ's virtues. But does not proceed by syllogism, but by thinking is a computational process, Lull believed that infidels could be combinatorics. The decomposition can be made mechanical, and that the Further, he thought that a representation and recombination of attributes can be mathematics of computation involves of those combinations could represented by the decomposition and combinatorics. All of these ideas have be effectively presented by means of recombination of symbols, and that, as their origin, so far as we know, in the appropriate machines, and that was Lull's devices illustrate, is a process that work of an eccentric 13th century the key to his new method.
