We used transposon mutagenesis to construct mutants of strain MnB1 that are unable to oxidize manganese, and we characterized some of these mutants.

This paper describes an approach to controlling information distribution among planning agents using irrelevance reasoning. We describe an implementation of this approach within a distributed version of the SIPE-2 planner.

We describe new developments in SRI's lattice-based progressive search strategy. These developments include the implementation of a new bigram lattice algorithm, lattice optimization techniques, and expansion of bigram lattices to…

This paper describes ongoing research on the development of a hybrid planning system that integrates case-based reasoning (CBR) methods into SIPE-2, a generative planning system.

This paper addresses both theoretical and practical issues relevant to reasoning about locations. Techniques for the efficient operationalization of the belief revision rules in planning frameworks are presented.

Distributed SIPE (DSIPE) is a distributed planning system that provides decision support to human planners in a collaborative planning environment.

We show how information extraction can be cast as a standard machine learning problem, and argue for the suitability of relational learning in solving it.

We describe three different multistrategy approaches. Experiments on two IE domains a collection of electronic seminar announcements from a university computer science department and a set of newswire articles describing…

In an effort to encourage the exchange of ideas, this paper explores how techniques from intelligent reactive control might be leveraged to provide adaptivity within workflow technologies, while also acknowledging…
