CIS 579 Artificial Intelligence
Spring 2008
Bruce R, Maxim, PhD Associate Professor Office: 233 CIS Phone: 313-436-9155 |

This course is intended to provide an overview of the problems and methods studied in the field of artificial intelligence. The focus of the course will be on the study of methods of knowledge representation, data structures, and algorithms useful to the development of intelligent programs. The course will also include discussion of important applications of AI methodology.
Your scores on the projects and will determine your grade in this course. There will be 4 projects using several AI tools (including LISP) not all of which will require the development of complete programs from scratch. You will be expected to do a term project and to present your term project orally. The smaller projects will count for 50% of your grade, the oral presentation 10%, and the term project 40%. Late work will be penalized, as will evidence of cheating in any form.
