Artificial Intelligence -- Research and Applications.

摘要

This report describes the work performed during a transition year of research and applications in several aspects of artificial intelligence. Work on a computer-based consultant was terminated. Aspects of that project were completed this year and are briefly documented here include the inference net approach to developing a practical Bayesian updating procedure for rule-based systems; the QLISP programming system; and a system for locating objects in multi-sensory images. Other interim studies reported here include an overview of the state of technology in artificial intelligence, including a bibliography of 65 references; a detailed plan for a three-year R/D program leading to a computer-based consultant system for military vehicle maintenance; and a report outlining how sensors and prognostic methods can play an important role in vehicle maintenance. A major section of this report describes the first six months of a major new effort in support of the ARPA/IPTO Command-Control Architectural Testbed program.
