A Symposium Series on Heuristic Search and Its Applications

该项目启动了一个关于启发式搜索主题的国际研讨会系列。目前，这一领域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领域使用启发式搜索的许多领域分享新的结果，想法和问题。广泛的影响不仅来自于这种混合，而且来自于启发式搜索的单一活动场所，我们希望在更广泛的社区中成为人们想要了解该领域最新发展的地方。第一次研讨会将于2008年作为AAAI研讨会举行。美国国家科学基金会的资金支持学生的参与和邀请演讲者，并有一个研讨会系列将在2010年自我维持的期望。

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.
