SOME PROJECTS IN AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING by IRA GOLDSTEIN and GERALD

This paper proposes three research topics within the general framework of Automatic Programming. The projects are designing (1) a student programmer, (2) a robot programmer and (3) a physicist's helper. The purpose of these projects is both to explore fundamental ideas regarding the nature of programming as well as to propose practical applications of AI research. The reason for offering this d...

“Airspace Playbook”: Dynamic Airspace Reallocation Coordinated with the National Severe Weather Playbook

The Airspace Playbook is a set of airspace configuration scenarios that augment the National Severe Weather Playbook rerouting scenarios. Each rerouting “play” would be accompanied with a candidate dynamic airspace reconfiguration. Typically, this would involve adjustments of sector boundaries in increments of existing sector components. Occasionally, these reconfigurations may combine two or m...

The Playbook Approach to Adaptive Automation

SIFT has pioneered a human-automation integration architecture, called Playbook, based on a shared model of the tasks in the domain. This shared task model provides a means of human-automation communication about plans, goals, methods and resource usage—a process akin to referencing plays in a sports team’s playbook. The Playbook enables human operators to interact with subordinate systems with...

SYMMETRIC INCLUSION - EXCLUSION Ira

One form of the inclusion-exclusion principle asserts that if A and B are functions of finite sets then the formulas A(S) = ∑ T⊆S B(T ) and B(S) = ∑ T⊆S(−1) |A(T ) are equivalent. If we replace B(S) by (−1)|S|B(S) then these formulas take on the symmetric form A(S) = ∑
