Preplanning Workshop for US 5th Anniversary of Artificial Intelligence

这笔赠款支持将于2004年秋季和2005年冬季在马里兰大学举行的两次为期一天的会议的与会者。这些会议的目的将是讨论和规划2006年的研讨会、讲习班和其他活动，以纪念人工智能领域近50年的研究和经验。与会者将讨论如何标记人工智能的进展，评估当前的艺术状态，并为未来的工作挑选出关键领域。除了计划如何通过适当的活动纪念历史时刻外，这些会议的与会者还将讨论可作为外地重点关注新挑战和方向的跳板的活动。这些会议的结果将对整个人工智能社区产生影响，包括经验丰富的研究人员、当前的博士生和本科生，以及其他计算机科学领域、科学历史学家和通常不太精通人工智能的目标、成就和历史的公众。

This grant supports participants in two one-day meetings to be held at the University of Maryland during the Fall of 2004 and Winter of 2005. The purpose of these meetings will be to discuss and plan for symposia, workshops, and other events in 2006 to mark the approximately 50 years of research and experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Participants will discuss ways to mark progress in AI, assess the current state of the art, and single out key areas for future work. In addition to planning how to mark a historical moment with appropriate activities, the participants in these meetings will discuss activities that can serve as a springboard for the field to focus on new challenges and directions. The results of these meetings will have impact across the entire spectrum of the AI community, including seasoned researchers, current doctoral, and undergraduate students, as well as other areas of computer science, historians of science, and the public at large, which is often not well versed in the goals, accomplishments, and history of AI.
