A brief history of RAND's research in artificial intelligence (AI) and expert systems from the development of one of the first stored-program digital computers, the JOHNNIAC, to the current work on AI technology and its uses, including work on expert systems, knowledge-based simulation, and human-oriented environments.
Journal Article
Computer models provide a powerful tool for reasoning about difficult problems.
Report
Draws on strategic analysis, cognitive psychology, gaming, and artificial intelligence modeling to describe a theory and concrete methodology for thinking about the likely and possible reasoning of opponents before or during crisis and conflict.
Report
This Note, reprinted from Artificial Intelligence, Simulation, and Modeling, Widman, Loparo, Nielson (eds.), John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989, attempts to define modeling precisely.
Report
This Note is one aspect of RAND's investigation of the utility of knowledge-based artificial intelligence techniques to help solve deficiencies that exist in large-scale military simulations.
Report
This Note describes a large-scale program melding rule-based modeling and traditional simulation in the problem domain of game-structured military strategic analysis.
Report
This Note is the final report of an assessment study to determine the applicability of operations research, artificial intelligence, and expert systems to logistics problems for the space station, which must support multiple systems using only on-boa...
Report
Describes a large-scale program melding rule-based modeling and traditional simulation in the problem domain of game-structured military strategic analysis in the RAND Strategy Assessment Center.
Report
This paper highlights, for those interested in advanced information science, some recent experience in RAND's Strategy Assessment Center (RSAC), a large-scale Department of Defense program to develop new concepts and techniques combining features ...
Report
The RAND Strategy Assessment Center (RSAC) is a highly ambitious, multiyear research program to develop a system and methodology that combine the systematic reproducibility of analytic modeling/simulation with the behavioral richness of rule-based artificial intelligence technology.
Report
ROSIE is a programming language and programming system for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The ROSIE language is a stylized version of English.

Report
Complex systems require intelligent control strategies, and artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and tools may contribute to the management of such systems. At RAND, we have been developing AI approaches to systems management problems.
Report
Much recent cognitive and artificial intelligence research has focused on the development of "schema theory." This theory supposes the existence of knowledge structures that encode prototypical descriptions of familiar concepts. Schema theory has d...
Report
A briefing presented at the Symposium on Artificial Intelligence in Information Science during the 1979 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science (ASIS) in Minneapolis. Discusses the creation of a knowledge system and problems r...
Report
A discussion of artificial intelligence, computer processing of natural-language data programming languages for problem-solving systems, and structural (contextual, linguistic) pattern recognition.
Report
A preliminary study of the inherent dynamic properties of feedback pathways composed of millions of brain cells. The ultimate aim is to predict feelings and behavior from the anatomical arrangement of nerve cells.
Report
The MIND System: A Data Structure for Semantic Information Processing.
Report
A model of human linguistic performance for computer implementation, limited to the input-output interactions and internal processes available on today's digital computers. The model is to understand factual information input to it, answer questions...
Report
A study of the processing of questions input to a computerized question-answering system such as the RAND Relational Data File.
