His name to The Sempervirens Fund, P 0 September 19th, 1987, in the California work reflected the marriage of these Drawer BE, Los Altos, California 94023 mountains. He is survived by his disciplines, as he strove to develop wife, Dagmar Dolan, and his 15 year formal computational models of old daughter Bronja Prazdny. During He was a member of American his prolific career, he had published Association for Advancement of Science, over 60 journal articles reporting American Association for Artificial research in human perception, Intelligence, The Cognitive Science stereo vision, image processing, Society, The Psychonomic Soci-robotics, perceptual reasoning and ety, International Society for Ecological learning, adaptive neural networks, Psychology, Society for Information and psychophysics.

This paper describes a visual feedback control system which is able to guide road vehicle on well structured roads at high speeds. The road boundary markings are tracked by a multiprocessor image processing system using contour correlation and curvature models together with the laws of perspective projection.

This report describes recent and continuing research in artificial intelligence and related fields being conducted at the University of Pennsylvania. Although AI research takes place primarily in the Department of Computer and Information Science ( in School of Engineering and Applied Science), many aspects of this research are preformed in collaboration with other engineering departments as well as other schools at the University, such as the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Medicine, and Wharton School.

About a year ago. I was approached by Phoebe Huang of Comtex Scientific Corporation who hoped that I would help devise a dramatically expanded index for topics in AI to aid Comtex in indexing the series of AI memos and reports that they had been gathering. Comtex had tried to get the ACM to expand and update its classification. But was told that ACM had just revised the listing two years ago or so ago, and did not intend to revise it again for a while: even if they did. The revision might require a year or more to complete. Comtex wanted the new classification within six to eight weeks. I agreed to take on the task, thinking it wouldn't be too hard. The major decision I had to make was whether to use the existing ACM index scheme and add to it, or start with a fresh sheet of paper and devise my own. I decided to stick with ACM's top two levels, only adding, not modifying, major headings.

Canadians have made many contributions to artificial intelligence over the years. This article presents a summary of current research in artificial intelligence in Canada and acquaints readers with the Canadian organization for artificial intelligence -- the Canadian Society for the Computational Studies of Intelligence / Societe Canadienne pour l' Etude de l'Intelligence par Ordinateur (CSCSI/ SCEIO).
