Has the field been in `crisis'? --- some argue we've been in the wilderness with no breakthroughs for decades except minor shifts towards connectionism and neural networks, artificial life, data collection/corpora, and hybrid systems. Others say the move towards integration (e.g. Intelligent MultiMedia integrating language/vision), PersonKommunikation, mobile and remote computing, more and more engineering and a focus on the significance or otherwise of the self, mind and consciousness is emphasizing the successes of AI... Ireland hosts AI conferences usually annually since 1988. This ninth AI-97 conference will continue the tradition of emphasising presentations of Irish and International original research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science including Computer Science, Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Neuroscience and related disciplines on the obvious problems of speech, NLP, and vision processing, robotics, learning, reasoning, knowledge representation and mobile/remote computing. Papers which address whether or not the field has been in `crisis' and its failures/successes are particularly welcome! Ever since George Boolean Logic (Cork), James Joyce's advances on streams-of-consciousness (see Dennett's Joycean machine), Claude Shannon found Information Theory and John McCarthy made LISP and gave the field its name (Dartmouth, US, 1956) we have been into Artificial Intelligence.

He works on the formalization of common sense knowledge and reasoning in mathematical logic. His contributions to this field include the situation calculus, the circumscription method of nonmonotonic reasoning and formalization of contexts. Much of the work is described in his "Formalizing Common Sense", Ablex 1990. He is Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. He has also worked in other areas of computer science and computer engineering, e.g. Lisp, time-sharing and program verification.

He is coordinator of the European Computer Vision Network (ECVnet), an EC "Network of Excellence" as well as the DG-XII Human Capital and Mobility network SMART whose subject is the development of techniques for a mobile autonomous surveillance robot. Professor Crowley served as the technical coordinator of project ESPRIT basic research project EP 7108, "Vision as Process" from 1989 to 1995. The VAP Project developed active vision heads, model architectures for real time continuously operating computer vision systems, and a theory of control of perception. In the area of mobile robotics, Professor Crowley has developed systems for world modeling and navigation using computer vision and ultrasonic range sensors. Versions of these systems are used commercially by Denning Mobile Robotics, and Helpmate Robotics. Professor Crowley has published two books, two special issues of journals, and over 100 articles on vision and mobile robotics.
