This book gives an in-depth treatment of the latest results in a selection of core topics of AI. Its aim is to make available to students and practitioners active in AI those results in a form suitable for people who are already informed about the basics of AI. The treatment is in tutorial form, and the material originates from the series of Advanced Courses in AI that are regularly offered by the European Coordinating Committee for AI. The topics treated are Learning Systems, Planning, Automated Deduction, Qualitative Reasoning, Knowledge Engineering, Natural Language Understanding, and AI...

This volume contains revised and extended versions of the papers presented at the Second International Workshop on Non-Monotonic Reasoning, held in Grassau (FRG), June 13-15, 1988. The workshop brought together researchers with different backgrounds, including non-monotonic logic, logic programming, truth maintenance and philosophy. Their papers contain substantial advances to the logical foundations of non-monotonic reasoning, its computational realization, and its application to the formalization of common sense reasoning. The book presents a snapshot of the state of the art in this...

These are the proceedings of a symposium on artificial intelligence in higher education held in Prague in October 1989. Papers describe sophisticated tutoring systems and suggestions for new curricula.

The papers in this book discuss technologies relevant to expert systems in engineering and describe applications of these technologies in such areas as computer integrated manufacturing and process automation.

The refereed post-proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security are presented in this volume. The 116 papers were submitted to two rounds of careful review. Papers cover bio-inspired computing, evolutionary computation, learning systems and multi-agents, cryptography, information processing and intrusion detection, systems and security, image and signal processing, and pattern recognition.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2007, held in Salamanca, Spain, in November 2007, in conjunction with the 7th Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Technology Transfer, TTIA 2007.

The 28 revised full papers presented address all current issues of artificial intelligence ranging from methodological and foundational aspects to advanced applications in various fields.

Arti?cialLifehascomealongway. Sincetheinceptionofthe?eldabout16years ago with a seminal workshop at the Santa Fe Institute, the ?eld has developed quickly. Itsinterdisciplinaryrootshavebeenbothablessingandacurse. Critical people would say that nothing was new in the ideas of Arti?cial Life, since many other disciplines had addressed the very same questions, though probably under di?erent names. Other critics would state that the di?culty of interacting in an interdisciplinary way with colleagues from so many other and divergent ?elds would be so great that true progress could not come from...

This volume presents the proceedings of the SixthInternational Workshop on Automated Natural LanguageGeneration held in Castel Ivano, Trento, Italy, April 5-7, 1992. Besides an invited lecture by Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, a well-known researcher in computer animation, on creatingand visualizing speech and emotion, the volume includes the17 thouroughly reviewed papers accepted for presentation, selected out of the submissions to the Workshop, as well as11 statements contributed to panels on multilinguality andgeneration or extending language generation to multiplemedia. The accepted papers by...
