The length of the visit is negotiable and the remuneration will be competitive. The Department has a 40-year history in computer science and recently has seen a major growth in AI activity. The eight faculty in AI have research interests that span the breadth of the field, including vision, knowledge-based software engineer- ing, machine learning, biomedical expert systems, planning, qual- itative physics, and representation and reasoning. Related research in the department includes work on automated program- ming, computer-aided design, functional and logic programming, rewrite systems, theorem proving, and the theory of inductive inference. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has additional faculty in AI specializing in vision and machine learning. There is also extensive multidisciplinary research with members of the departments of Educational Psychology, Linguistics, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Information Science, Philosophy, and Psychology.
