Over the past eight years, the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International has been developing new technology to address the problem of automated information management within real-world contexts. The result…

This report surveys literature and research in the field of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) and provides an overview of computer architectures particularly suited to such research. It concentrates on work…

In this paper, I provide an analysis of the cognitive structures that underlie referential and attributive uses of definite descriptions.  This endeavor should be worthwhile in an of itself, but…

One of the most highly touted virtues of knowledge-based expert systems is their ability to construct explanations for their lines of reasoning. However, there is a basic difficulty in generating…

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…

In this paper, we illustrate how such inferences add a new dimension of complexity to reasoning about change and show that failure to allow for such inferences can result in…
