Alan Mathison Turing (1912 1954) was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist. He was highly influential in the development of computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of "algorithm" and "computation" by way of the Turing machine. His work played a pivotal role in the creation of the modern computer science. Turing is widely considered to be th...

The need for intelligent environments (“Smarthomes”) to monitor and assist elderly individuals is on the rise and is projected to continue into the future. To assist in the development of autonomous Smarthome algorithms, a robust, flexible and extendable simulation environment is required. In this paper we present our approach to fulfilling this need through the development of a plugin-based si...

Computer games play an important role in our society and motivate people to learn computer science. Since artificial intelligence is integral to most games, they can also be used to teach artificial intelligence. We introduce the Game AI Game Engine (GAIGE), a Python game engine specifically designed to teach about how AI is used in computer games. A progression of seven assignments builds towa...

The Fifth International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion was held in conjunction with the Joint Congress of the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs (ASAIO) 55th Annual Conference and the International Federation for Artificial Organs (IFAO) at the Hilton Anatole Dallas Hotel, Dallas, TX, May 27–30, 2009. Approxima...

It is often claimed that artificial society simulations contribute to the explanation of social phenomena. At the hand of a particular example, this paper argues that artificial societies often cannot provide full explanations, because their models are not or cannot be validated. Instead, artificial societies may sometimes provide potential explanations. It is shown that these potential explana...

Argument(ation) mining (AM) is an area of research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that aims to identify, analyse and automatically generate arguments natural language. In a pipeline, the identification analysis their components (i.e. premises claims) texts prediction relations attack support) are then handled by argument-based reasoning frameworks so that, for example, fallacies inconsistencie...
