The World Wide Web and grid computing provide new opportunities and challenges for artificial intelligence. This talk examines how case-based reasoning can respond to these challenges by leveraging large-scale information sources. It highlights opportunities for exploiting naturally arising cases and augmenting them with additional open sources, to enable robust support for human reasoning. It ...

In this paper we discuss the use of spatial models in mixed-reality systems. We outline several types of model that might exist, how they are surveyed or otherwise authored, how they are represented to the users and how they are supported by the underlying middleware and sensors. We show that systems often contain numerous “models” of space and that a lot of work goes into maintaining or reifyi...
