Updates, roadmap and open tasks

Dear All

For your reference, I have created an editable roadmap
(still very notional at the moment but feel free to edit)  here
<https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1tTzzABuyxSgcnquGWezgwqsXdC-fUDWnes3l9EMs29o/edit?usp=sharing>

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that despite trends that say that
knowledge based systems have lost ground and that people are using NN and
ML for their robots
knowledge based systems are still used especially where heuristics
decisions are applied
Here an example

You may like to know that since starting this group, our mission has
inspired others
to explore similar lines involving AI KR here a couple of examples.

 Workshops - IJCAI-19 – August 10-16 2019, Macao, China
<https://www.ijcai19.org/workshops.html>

and a few more related initiatives have sprung up

I am currently writing a guest editorial for the forthcoming special issue
AI KR, as well as a guest lecture based on the same materials. As already
mentioned,  initially I d like to pin down a set of key terms from AI KR
literature in particular in relation to the web.onllne systems, but get
lost in the process, its a very big field * but learning a lot

Will share soon my initial selection- and would very much welcome everyone
to do the same
I have not yet been able to decide how many terms we should identify, and
with which criteria to select those terms, but roughly they should
represent with natural language (English) the AI KR domain . Not easy, feel
free to advise

We have now obtained copies of two standards (Tahdah!!) I mentioned in the
slides I shared earlier this year (power of unity presentation for IEEE
P7000)
BS 8611:2016
ISO  13482

I  didnt know that ISO 13482 is also a BS standard, in fact the document is
called
BS 13482 ISO, rather confusing isnt it?
I am facing several dilemmas, in particular that some of these standards
address autonomous systems and robotics, rather than AI (which in my view
is a more abstract term) which is also one of the challenges this group
should aim to tackle imho'

Finally, after some discussions, I conclude that this group should explore
the relevance of AIKR work to other W3C groups, in the hope that some of
what we may come up with eventually can also help them solve some problems
(many issues are related to AI KR challenges at the mo)

Please feel free to help with the above or to put your own work in the
roadmap for this cg

If I dont hear of preferences for TPAC meeting slots, I ll chose one which
is convenient for me and hope at a minimum to explore the relevance of this
groups work with other groups

Best regards
