A Symposium Series on Heuristic Search and Its Applications

该项目启动了启发式搜索主题的国际研讨会系列。目前，这方面的工作似乎分散在几个领域的许多会议上。这个项目的智力价值源于在人工智能和机器人技术中使用启发式搜索的许多领域共享新的结果、想法和问题。广泛的影响不仅来自于这种混合，还来自于在启发式搜索中拥有一个单一的活动场所，当人们想要了解该领域的最新发展时，我们希望在更广泛的社区中知道这个地方。第一届研讨会将于2008年作为AAAI研讨会举行。NSF资助学生参与和邀请演讲者，预计该系列研讨会将在2010年自给自足。

The project kick-starts an international symposium series on the topic of heuristic search. Currently, work in this area appears scattered across many conferences in several fields. The intellectual merit of this project stems from the sharing of new results, ideas, and problems across the many areas in AI and robotics where heuristic search is used. Broad impact comes not only from this intermixing but from having a single locus of activity for efforts in heuristic search, one that we expect to become known in the wider community as the place to look when one wants a snapshot of the latest developments in the area. The first symposium will be held as a AAAI workshop in 2008. NSF funding supports student participation and invited speakers, and there is the expectation that the symposium series will be self-sustaining by 2010.
