COS 570,
Topics in AI: Context-Sensitive Reasoning, TTh 9:30-10:45
NOTE: I will be out of town from Jan. 28 to Feb. 10; e-mail would
be the best way to contact me during that time

Research interests: |
My research area is artificial intelligence, and my
interests include intelligent control of agents and multiagent systems
(problem solving, planning, context-sensitive
reasoning, case- and schema-based reasoning), cooperative distributed problem
solving, mission control of autonomous underwater
vehicles, Web search and other software agents, and AI in biology
and medicine.

Research projects: |
- Orca:
-
Intelligent mission controller for autonomous underwater
vehicles, other real-world agents, and multiagent systems
- CoDA:
-
Intelligent control, including self-organization and
reorganization, of autonomous oceanographic sampling networks
(AOSNs) and other
multiagent systems<
- Context-sensitive reasoning:
-
Enabling autonomous agents to respond quickly, automatically, and
appropriately to their context; the context-mediated behavior
approach to context-sensitive reasoning is part of the Orca project. For more
information on context, see the Context Web Site.
- Multi-modal interfaces:
- In collaboration with the UMaine Department
of Spatial Information Science and Engineering
- Biological modeling:
-
Modeling complex biological systems, such as the
nudibranch-hydroid predator-prey system that develops early in
community succession in marine fouling communities (i.e., those
that develop on cleared surfaces in the ocean).
- Computational chemistry:
- A project focused on modeling the effect of impurities (e.g.,
Ag(CN)2) on ionic crystals (e.g., of NaCl).
