by Patrick Henry Winston, Sarah Alexandra Shellard (Editor)

This collection of over 40 milestone contributions presents the latest state-of-theart research emerging from one of the worlds foremost centers for Artificial Intelligence. Thetopics range from immediately applicable, demonstrated advances to theoretical proposals. Theyinclude robotics, vision, natural language, learning and commonsense problem solving, model-basedreasoning systems, engineering problem solving, programmer's apprentice, mixed symbolic andnumerical computation, ultraconcurrent systems, and basic theory. Each new area is introduced andlinked together with an overview by Patrick WinstonThe contributors Harold Abelson, Gul Agha,Chae H. An, Christopher G. Atkeson, David J. Bennett, Robert C.
