Graduate
Program in Artificial Intelligence Multi-agent systems, knowledge representation, computer vision, and
intelligent tutoring systems are areas of research interest in the Department
of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware.
In addition, a Cognitive Science Program brings in well-known speakers
from throughout North America and serves as a forum for joint research
efforts with faculty from the departments of Educational Studies, Linguistics,
and Psychology. Members of our AI group serve on the editorial boards
of International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, Autonomous
Agents and Multi-Agent Systems Journal, User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction Journal, Machine-Mediated Learning, and Visible Language.
In addition, they have served on the program committees for major conferences
in artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems. Multi-Agent Systems and Distributed Artificial Intelligence research
deals with the issues that arise when groups or societies of autonomous
agents (usually computer programs but sometimes people too) interact
to solve problems. These agents may be self-interested, or cooperating
to solve a shared problem. Important issues include reasoning about
the knowledge and beliefs of other agents, communication and negotiation,
and coordination and control. Furthermore, in many real-world problems
agents have limited computational resources available to them, and so
must forgo optimal solutions for satisfying solutions. Knowledge representation, planning, problem-solving, and plan recognition
are important components of intelligent systems, especially systems
that must react to their environment or interact with other agents,
and several researchers are pursuing work in these areas. In addition,
the video modeling and synthesis
lab is studying a number of major problems in computer vision and
image processing, with an emphasis on the modeling of nonrigid body
motion.
