“It is both in a spirit of scientific enquiry and for pragmatic motivations that we embark on the quest for metrics for intelligence of constructed systems.” From the White Paper explaining the goals of the Workshop: “Measuring Performance and Intelligence of Systems with Autonomy: Metrics for Intelligence of Constructed Systems,” (Editors: E. Messina and A. Meystel), Measuring the Performance and Intelligence of Systems: Proceedings of the 2000 PerMIS Workshop, Gaithersburg, MD, U.S.A, August 14-16, 2000, NIST Special Publication 970. As the new millennium was upon us in 2000, a group of researchers gathered for the first time seeking to address several issues pertaining to intelligent systems: ? How can we measure the current state of the science and assess progress in the field? ? How can users select among different candidate systems and decide which system will be most suited to their application? ? How can we break the cycle of re-invention and constant initiation of projects with blank slates and find ways to reuse existing components?
