Press Release: Call to Relieve Constraints on AI
The
Need to Relieve Constraints on Artificial Intelligence
Addressed
at Rules Fest 2011
Veteran AI Leaders Paul Haley
and Said Tabet Slated to Address Developers
San Francisco, CA, August 2,
2011– Organizers today posted the abstracts for keynote
speakers for Rules
Fest 2011, the International Conference on Reasoning
Technologies, a conference by developers for developers
scheduled for the San Francisco Bay Area this October 2011.
In a session titled “Roadmap for Rules, Semantics, and
Business,” Paul
Haley, who has been working to commercialize artificial
intelligence for more than three decades, says understanding the
requirements for semantic technology in enterprise vs. the
capabilities of rules engines exposes the need for more classic
artificial intelligence and reasoning in our technology, more
emphasis on knowledge than rules in our services, and more
emphasis on knowledge technology strategy in the executive
suite. Haley will discuss the challenge that while semantic
technology is inevitably mainstream, it remains largely divorced
from the activity of knowledge engineering as practiced using
business rule engines embedded within business process
management or complex event processing systems.
Semantic technology encodes meanings separately from data and
content files, and separately from application code. This
enables machines as well as people to understand, share and
reason with them at execution time. Semantic technologies make
it easy to add, change and implement new relationships or
interconnecting programs in a different way. For example, a
context-aware, semantically-enabled system is able to
distinguish terms that are labeled differently but have the same
meaning, as well as terms that share the same label but have
entirely different meanings.
Cloud trust, information governance, risk management, and
compliance, distributed systems, mobile applications all offer a
unique opportunity to realize the true potential of knowledge
technology. These systems are usually covered by service level
agreements that are rules-based.
Dr.
Tabet’s discussion, “Semantic Technologies and the Cloud:
Rules for the Next Generation,” addresses the major challenges
in information management while the business environment also
witnesses the drastic shift to cloud computing. Dr. Tabet will
address the trend of constraining artificial intelligence and
knowledge technologies in legacy environments, and says
enterprise knowledge management needs strong semantic
technologies, powerful inferencing systems, and advanced machine
learning capabilities – not more sophisticated spreadsheets. Dr.
Tabet was a co-founder of the RuleML Initiative in 2000,
involved in artificial intelligence and its applications for
well over a decade. He recently refocused his efforts on RuleML
and Business Rules, XML, RDF and the Semantic Web as well as
deductive reasoning in financial services.
Rules
Fest, hosted by the non-profit Rules Fest Association, is
a technical conference geared toward software developers,
engineers, programmers and architects who create solutions to
complex computing problems using reasoning
technologies: rule-engines, logical reasoners,
constraint-solvers, and other such building-blocks of practical
artificial intelligence (AI). More than 200 developers,
engineers, programmers, and architects from around the globe are expected
to attend the conference in Burlingame, California.
The conference will also feature a Career Center to address the
war for developer talent in technology companies. Companies
seeking advanced programming talent are invited to submit their
open positions for posting at no charge.
Conference Fee and Package Pricing
The standard fee for the conference is $499. All
bootcamps – addressing specific programming challenges and
technologies -- are $299. For a limited time, Rules Fest
organizers are offering an early bird rate of $1249 including an
all-access conference pass, four nights at the Hyatt Regency
Burlingame, a boot camp of choice, and 10% off from next year’s
conference. This “early bird” rate is available until September
30. Early discounts are also available for general admission and
for bootcamps without a hotel stay. To register, attendees
should visit the conference
registration site on the conference website.
