Elise H. Turner
(1959-2008)
It is with great sadness that I note the passing of my dear wife and colleague,
Elise (Hill) Turner. Elise passed away Thursday, August 14,
2008, after a 7-year battle with biliary tract cancer (cholangiocarcinoma).
Elise's friends will remember her beautiful singing voice, her intelligence,
her humor, her love of the theatre, and her kindness and love for her
friends and family. (More...)

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).
