From: Heow Eide-Goodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 09 Sep 2005 08:58:47 -0400 Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, September 13th from 7:00 to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Conrad Barski, M.D. presents: How To Tell Stuff To A Computer, The Enigmatic Art of Knowledge Representation Conrad created this presentation in order to help demistify the science of knowledge representation (KR for short) for all who are interested in this still largely underappreciated scientific field. Representing knowledge, in itself, is not a very difficult thing to understand: It is no mystery that computers are a great way to store and retrieve information. But have you ever wondered where things currently stand with the science behind computer information? Is the way we currently use information on computers about as good as it can be? ...Or, can we expect that there are major advancements still ahead of us? Anyone who looks closely at the way we currently store and use information with computers will find that our methods are, at best, still rather crude. Conrad received his M.D. at the University of Miami School of Medicine. He is now working at ProVation Medical Software developing tools for procedure documentation, including DocuDiagrams, a novel system of interactive diagrams for documenting cardiology procedures. In a previous life, he was the lead developer on the video game "FlipOut!" for the Atari Jaguar game console.
