WORKSHOP: Artificial Intelligence
for Space Applications at IJCAI 07
|
|
The Advanced Concepts Team, together with the Artificial Intelligence group of JPL and the Department of Computer Science of the University of Texas at El Paso, is organizing the workshop "Artificial Intelligence for Space Applications". It will be held the 8th of January 2007 at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (http://www.ijcai-07.org/), Hyderabad, India.
Background Many would
claim that the ambitious short and long term goals set down by the
various national space agencies such as ESA, NASA and JAXA cannot be
achieved unless highly autonomous spacecraft can be designed. This has
led, in recent years, to an increasing interest of the entire aerospace
community in artificial intelligence. However, in the current state of
the art, several open issues and show stoppers can be identified, the
major problem probably being system reliability. We are surely far from
the desired situation in which artificial intelligence methods for space
applications can be considered as an off-the-shelf tool for space
engineers.
