The Domain-Specific Assessment project developed a set of tools and assessment items that measure students’ capacity to apply knowledge rather than simply memorize vast amounts of it. An overview of the approach to the methodology is presented in this paper.
A software evaluation methodology has been developed at SRI International for evaluating contributions to the ARPA/DMA Image Understanding Testbed. This paper describes the criteria that have shaped the evaluation methodology.
Reasoning from uncertain, incomplete, and sometimes inaccurate information is necessary whenever any system is to interact in an intelligent way with its environment.
This report examines how community college and industry experts rated a problem-based learning curriculum. The report indicates that industry experts and instructors diverge in their expectations about how "real-world," problem-based learning curriculum needs to be.
The SLICE textured-image segmentation system identifies image regions that differ in gray-level distribution, color, spatial texture, or other local property.
The KNIFE segmentation algorithm interleaves splitting and merging of regions during mono-chrome or multiband image partitioning. KNIFE splits regions along object boundaries, thus avoiding rectangular quadtree artifacts and establishing a context for good statistical decisions.
The study reports the extent to which five Bay Area Knowledge Is Power Program schools achieve their goals and the implications of the findings for other public schools.
This paper presents the GEM concurrency model and GEMPLAN, a multiagent planner based on this model. Unlike standard state-based AI representations, GEM is unique in its explicit emphasis on events and domain structure.

NEILS was part of a program of longitudinal studies funded by the U.S. Department of Education that were conducted by SRI. This study used the “ingredients” approach or Resource Cost Model (RCM) to analyze early intervention expenditures.
