The AI Topics web site

Funded by the American Association for AI.

The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (SSAISB) is the largest Artificial Intelligence Society in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1964, the society has an international membership drawn from both academia and industry.

ECCAI

ECCAI, the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence, was established in July 1982 as a representative body for the European Artificial Intelligence community. Its aim is to promote the study, research and application of Artificial Intelligence in Europe.

The Cognition and Affect Project at Birmingham:

The Cognition and Affect Project WEB directory, includes a large collection of papers, publications, and seminar slides produced by members of this project.
See also the Project Overview.

The SIM_AGENT toolkit developed here in Birmingham now has its own Web page: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/packages/simagent.html

Anyone wishing to store a pointer to our work could use this: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/cogaff/

The cognition_affect email list:

There is an email list maintained at Birmingham for discussions of cognition and affect (e.g. architectures of autonomous agents, and processes involving motivation and emotions). If you wish to join, you can do so here: https://mailman.cs.bham.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/cognition_affect

After joining send an introductory message about yourself, where you are, what you do, etc. This is a very low traffic list.
To send messages to people on the list, post to

           cognition_affect@cs.bham.ac.uk

Please do not send general advertisements, etc. This list is for discussion and announcements relevant to the study of cognition and affect (including motivation, moods, attitudes, emotions, etc.)

More general stuff

The New Scientist Online

To access this you have to register at http://www.newscientist.com/ (it's free: choose a user name and a password that you can remember).

In April 1996 the New Scientist had a supplement on emotions, including a brief report on our work, along with work at MIT, CMU and elsewhere. After registering, if you have not done so previously, log in to the above address then look in the "No Limits" section under "Emotions". That takes you to a list of the articles. The second artcle is "You're wrong, Mr. Spock". The URL is: http://www.newscientist.com/ps/limit/emotions/ecom1.html but you will not be able to access it directly without registering first.

Times Higher Educational Supplement(THES)

The THES site is http://thesis.newsint.co.uk/

Visit the site for audio records and printed reports of TUCSON-2 the second international conference on consciousness. http://thesis.newsint.co.uk/SPECIAL/tucson.html

There's a wonderful overview of the factions on consciousness: THESIS's instant guide to the plenary speakers at Tucson II and the intellectual factions they represent.
The abstracts can be found at http://thesis.newsint.co.uk/SPECIAL/absfront.html

(Warning, posters were accepted without any refereeing process and so a lot of junk got into the conference. I guess that's to be expected at any conference on consciousness!)
