HI there:- It is time that we consider setting up mini-nets within net.ai; some of the people interested in AI for business and applications in operations research /management science have recently made some requests along these lines. Do you think this makes sense. I feel that setting up mini-nets will give raise to both increased participation and will give room for more technical and detailed discussions on the respective subtopics. I am just speculating.... In order to reach an agreement on the subtopics one may start with a list which can be posted on the net.ai. I was thinking along these lines:- * Natural language/story understanding, knowledge representation Cog. Sc. * Logic programming/planning robotics.Prolog * Ai tools and techniques and KB applications, languages,hardware * AI in Business/Expert systmes and Commercial AI/New ventures etc. and finally, the general net.ai for general notices announcements etc. The more I think about it , it does not seem to be a very good idea. Does it make a lot of sense in breaking up net.ai? Any ideas?

I think subdividing net.ai is a good idea, and the groups proposed make sense. Jeff Elman / Phonetics Lab, Dept. of Linguistics, C-008, UC San Diego UUCP: ...ucbvax!sdcsvax!sdamos!elman ARPAnet: elman@nprdc.ARPA

How does the following simple partition strike you: - net.ai.Announce - net.ai.Debate - net.ai.Advise ... or something like that?
