In September I travelled to Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR, in order to participate in
the Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. While
there, on September 5,
I presented a paper entitled %2"BEINGS: Knowledge as Interacting
Experts"%*. This was a report on my recent
research involving a modular formalism for representing data and control.
I also delivered a paper entitled %2"The Automated Mathematician"%*, which
described my forthcoming PhD dissertation project. I also acted as chairman
of the IJCAI Free Session on Thursday, September 4.
I found the conference trip quite worthwhile.
Personal attendance was invaluable for hearing the %2latest%* findings of
each project: although
the published papers were written last Spring,
most talks included a summary of recent results since that time.
Of equal value were the private conversations I had with several
researchers in my field, exchanging ideas and fresh viewpoints.
