Artificial Intelligence Research In The Context Of Darpas Strategic Computing Initiative

Abstract: "The Strategic Computing (SC) Initiative was born at DARPA in November 1983 with a primary goal of achieving major advances in Artificial Intelligence, and with an expectation that these advances will have a significant impact on national security and on the industrial strength of the nation. This Initiative, which was planned as a ten-year program, can be seen as a natural evolution of DARPA's unique efforts in the information science and technology field since the early sixties, and in particular as an extension/acceleration of DARPA's substantial support for AI over the years. By now, about seven years into the program, we can see that SC has had a strong impact on the science and technology of AI.
