    Extractions: Research Leader, RIKEN International Frontier Program on Earthquake Research, Professor of Tokai University In Greece, short-term earthquake prediction has been in practice for more than a decade. The method, called the "VAN", is based on monitoring of geoelectric potential changes. @Incorporating the VAN with other promising methods of different disciplines, it seems possible not only to improve earthquake prediction but also to open new frontiers of earth science leading to better understanding of fundamental crustal processes. What is VAN Method? Earthquake prediction aims to specify three elements, namely when, where, and how large the impending earthquake will be. It is generally recognized that such is hard to achieve with the capability of the present seismological science. It may, therefore, sound unbelievable that earthquake prediction has been in practice in Greece for more than a decade. The method is called the VAN method, after the initials of three Greek scientists, Professors P. Varotsos, K. Alexopoulos and K.Nomicos, all from the University of Athens. Soon after an earthquake hit the Athens area in early 1981, causing serious damage, they started monitoring the geoelectric potential changes, because, as solid state physicists, they anticipated that some electric current may be generated in the earthquake source region before catastrophe.

    Extractions: Internet: jmc@cs.stanford.edu Review of ``Artificial Intelligence: A General Survey'' by Professor Sir James Lighthill, FRS, in Artificial Intelligence: a paper symposium , Science Research Council 1973. Professor Lighthill of Cambridge University is a famous hydrodynamicist with a recent interest in applications to biology. His review of artificial intelligence was at the request of Brian Flowers, then head of the Science Research Council of Great Britain, the main funding body for British university scientific research. Its purpose was to help the Science Research Council decide requests for support of work in AI. Lighthill claims no previous acquaintance with the field, but refers to a large number of authors whose works he consulted, though not to any specific papers. The Lighthill Report is organized around a classification of AI research into three categories: Category A is advanced automation or applications , and he approves of it in principle. Included in A are some activities that are obviously applied but also activities like computer chess playing that are often done not for themselves but in order to study the structure of intelligent behavior.

91. Lightill, Micheal James

    Extractions: Sir James Lighthill was known as Michael Lighthill when he was a young man. He was educated at Winchester College and, at the age of 15 he won a scholarship to Trinity College Cambridge. However, he chose to wait until he was 17 years old before entering Trinity College which he did in 1941. He graduated with a BA in 1943, after taking a course shortened because of World War II. While at Cambridge, Lighthill met Nancy Dumaresq who was studying mathematics at Newnham College. Lighthill tried to get a job in the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough after he graduated, since Nancy already had a job there. However, he was offered a job in the Aerodynamics Division of the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. Lighthill married Nancy in 1945, the year he finished his job at the National Physical Laboratory. Lighthill was elected a fellow of Trinity College in 1945 and he held this fellowship until 1949. In 1946 he was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at Manchester University and there he set up a very strong fluid dynamics group which soon dominated research in fluids. In 1950 Lighthill was promoted to Beyer Professor of Applied Mathematics at Manchester University.

The name Artificial Intelligence appeared in the 1950s, but the mechanical modelling of human characteristics has a much longer history: mechanical brains, automata a definition of AI is rather difficult, since it means different things to different people. however: 1) AI is a specialty within computer science 2) AI aims to construct computer programs to model aspects of intelligent behaviour -mostly symbolic aspects sometimes physiological 3) AI involves many areas of study: game playing, theorem proving, cognitive modelling, natural language, machine vision, expert systems, robots, 4) AI uses digital computers: expensive ones: therefore story of how AI got funded is important 5) AI researchers developed list-processing languages : different from the numerically based high level languages of the 1950s: ALGOL, FORTRAN, etc 6) these languages are difficult: learnt through apprenticeship at certain locations like a craft skill During and just after the Second World War there emerged new interconnected areas of research: information theory, Operations Research, cybernetics and computer science
