This is a summary of the Workshop on Planning that was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency and held in Santa Cruz, California, on October 21-23, 1987. The purpose of this workshop was to identify and explore new directions for research in planning.

The Computing Research Laboratory (CRL) at New Mexico State University is a center for research in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Specific areas of research include the human-computer interface, natural language understanding, connectionism, knowledge representation and reasoning, computer vision, robotics, and graph theory. This article describes the ongoing projects at CRL.

The fundamental observation we will hands ask, have all the big ideas gone? This is, put field is a real change with several causes, differently, a traditional thesis of artificial and not simply an illusion. Two factors intelligence, namely that the immediately spring to mind: hardware may vary but the basic problems of intelligent action remain the - To some extent, it reflects the maturation same. For example, one big problem is of the field. This notion permeates all of problems are solved, the remaining of artificial intelligence's relatives but problems are harder, making progress less so artificial intelligence itself.

Letters to the editor on the lack of a central index to the field's published works and the fact that many original works are not published in journals; praise for Letovsky article -- stimulating and amusing. felt subsequent letters to editors were full of bombastic indignation; criticism of Kasday letter about it and Bob Engelmore's weak support of the article; dualism in regards to Letovsky letter; and a reply to criticism by Letovsky, acknowledging diaristic form.

Real-time domains present a new and challenging environment for the application of knowledge-based problem-solving techniques. However, a substantial amount of research is still needed to solve many difficult problems before real-time expert systems can enhance current monitoring and control systems. In this article, we examine how the real-time problem domain is significantly different from those domains which have traditionally been solved by expert systems. We conduct a survey on the current state of the art in applying knowledge-based systems to real-time problems and describe the key issues that are pertinent in a real-time domain. The survey is divided into three areas: applications, tools, and theoretic issues. From the results of the survey, we identify a set of real-time research issues that have yet to be solved and point out limitations of current tools for real-time problems. Finally, we propose a set of requirements that a real-time knowledge-based system must satisfy.

This is Part 1 of a two-part article. Part 2 covers tort liability and computers as expert witnesses. It will appear in the Summer 1988 issue of AI Magazine. Technological developments that remove ever-increasing numbers of cognitive tasks from human control will alter the assumptions on which current legal rules are based. These rules will have a growing impact on AI researchers and entrepreneurs as their work reaches a growing audience of beneficiaries. In order to accommodate the needs of practitioners and their recipients, courts and lawmakers will be forced to reevaluate principles whose foundations were developed well before the implications of advanced technology could have been predicted. This article attempts to identify areas of law in which the need for accommodation will be greatest and provide some insight into the process and the direction of change.
