In a recent interview George Dyson discussed the nature of artificial intelligence. Dyson discusses Lewis Fry Richardson’s quote that a computer “is a simple mind having a will but capable of only two ideas.” He stated, “The significance of Richardson’s idea was that he broke with the assumption that computation had to be deterministic, because so few others things in the universe are deterministic. Alan Turing was very explicit that computers will never be intelligent unless they are allowed to make mistakes. The human mind is not deterministic, it is not flawless. So why would we want computers to be flawless?” Read more

Data management, process management, access management, and resource management form the four pillars of the advanced computing enterprise. This includes critical technologies such as databases, web services & service oriented architectures (SOA), mobile devices, and cloud computing. Semantics helps adapt and unify them to your current enterprise to allow rapid adoption and effective use.
We outline and demonstrate the potential contributions of Semantics to each of the four pillars. The contributions exist along two dimensions; making each pillar operate more effectively and making semantics work more effectively through effective implementation of the pillar. This provides you with choices as to how focus your needs with potential semantic contributions.
We end by establishing an incremental, iterative plan outlining risks and benefits to allow you to gracefully incorporate Semantics into these critical enterprise areas.
- Host semantic solutions in advanced enterprise technologies
- Enrich key enterprise technologies with semantic extensions and enhancements to improve efficiency, effectiveness, functionality, and quality.
- Identify semantic opportunities in the enterprise.
- Outline a pragmatic plan for semantic enrichment

What is automated, domain-independent planning
Automated, domain-independent planning is one of the core areas in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and active research in that area was conducted almost since the beginning of AI. While the performance of initial planning programs limited its application to toy-sized problems, the major breakthroughs in 1990s (GraphPlan) and at the beginning of the 21st century (FF planner) made automated planning applicable for real-life deployments. Automated planning can be applied to a variety of problems like configuration management, software system integration, project planning, controlling autonomous vehicles etc.
