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
group:
    MaineSAIL: University of Maine Software Agents & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
Institute
memberships:
    AUSI: The Autonomous Undersea Systems Institute
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).
