Expert Systems: Part three of the Artificial Intelligence Series

The Rule-based Systems panel highlights one of the areas of Artifical Intelligence that initially seemed the most promising, and which received the most publicity. While many people remember the "Fifth Generation" computer projects and the resulting "AI Winter" with disdain, expert systems have quietly become essential to many application areas and are rapidly becoming a part of the standard toolkit for enterprise applications.

Artificial Intelligence Series - From Research to Reality

In 1956, John McCarthy invited a group of leading researchers to Dartmouth to participate in a conference on the newly coined field of Artificial Intelligence. Since then many astonishing things have happened. Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov at chess. Currently, DARPA has created a very practical Grand Challenge to accelerate research in autonomous vehicles. As it has been almost 50 years since the dream of Artificial Intelligence was articulated, it is appropriate to look back at some key ideas and how they are changing our lives.
