While work on AI planning systems dates back to the early 70’s, applications of AI planning systems are few and far between. This paper describes several major obstacles to the fielding of planning systems related to: plan representation and usage, operational contexts of planning systems, and knowledge acquisition and maintenance for planning knowledge. We use examples drawn from our experienc...

General Electric’s Research Center has been using soft computing (SC) and related techniques to create decision support systems (DSS) since the early 1980’s. After fielding and maintaining multiple applications we have found many benefits from using soft computing to create knowledge based decision support applications. This chapter will describe the benefits of using SC for creating a DSS and ...

As military command and control (C2) applications evolve and become immersed within an growing net-centric operational environment, the complexity of interactions among component C2 enterprise capabilities will rapidly increase. The adoption of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to C2 development, coupled with the incremental fielding of Internet Protocol (IP) based Global Informati...

The design of a conversational virtual agent that assists professors and students in giving in-class oral presentations is described, along with preliminary evaluation results. The life-sized agent is integrated with PowerPoint presentation software and can deliver presentations in conjunction with a human presenter using appropriate verbal and nonverbal behavior. Results from evaluation studie...

Recently, Fielding and Roiko found that information provision affects knowledge of and support for potable recycled water. However, recent cultural-sociological insights suggest that such effects are not universal. A re-analysis of the original data reveals the relevance of cultural predispositions: significant effects only exist in specific subgroups of the population. Only those who are comfo...

Two classes of web services have emerged. The first type of web service system uses the REST architecture where resources are represented using URI and HTTP is used to return the current representation of that resource. These systems are based on HTTP, XML and URI and is described by Fielding and others in a variety of documents.[2][3] In these systems, XML is typically used to encode the repre...
