The Panel on Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence was established in early 1992 by the Naval
Studies Board (NSB) of the National Research Council in response to a request from the Naval Research
Laboratory (NRL). The NRL called on the NSB to establish a panel of experts in the fields of computer science
and artificial intelligence to interact informally with the laboratory's research staff regarding plans, facilities,
capabilities, prospects, and problems faced by the represented communities (government, academia, and
industry) and to address the tasks contained in the formal terms of reference. Those tasks delineated the
following priority topics:

• Software production. Provide a critical examination of the scientific issues that could be pursued (as
opposed to commercial developments that are likely to evolve without fundamental R&D activities).
• Adaptive software (machine learning). What opportunities are envisioned in this area?
• Interface technology. What are the scientific issues that are to be examined over the next decade and
which hold the potential for providing an improved base for sound developments in this field? What
centers of activity worldwide are currently active leaders in such activities?
• Speech synthesis/recognition. What fundamental pursuits are likely to lead to further principles in this
field (as opposed to commercial developments, which will indeed provide more sophisticated systems
under many conditions)?
• Neural networks. Which scientific pursuits are required to place the behavior of these systems on a firm
basis? Where are the leadership roles associated with this set of issues?
• Facilities. What facilities are the highest priority to emphasize in furthering the unique strengths that a
government laboratory brings to this field? Which facilities are most appropriate at a university?
