No agent has sufficient knowledge to solve the problem at hand so that coordinated cooperative problem solving is required to satisfy system goals. In the paper, a distributed reasoning system (DARES), is presented, in which agents have the ability to focus their attention on selective information interchange to facilitate cooperative problem solving. The experimental results presented demonstrate that agents in a loosely coupled network of problem solvers can work semiindependently, yet focus their attention with the aid of relatively simple heuristics when cooperation is appropriate. These results suggest that an effective cooperation strategy has been developed that is largely independent of initial knowledge distribution.

These update the 2004 guidelines commonly known as CE2004. The presenters are part of the task group leading the revisions and will give an overview of the latest draft. Participants will engage in discussions on potential improvements to the guidelines to ensure that they are useful to programs as they work to ensure their curricula reflect the state-of-the-art in computer engineering education and practice and are relevant for the coming decade.

By combining their efforts, both groups believe that they will better s e w the computing profession, the public, industry, and institutions of higher learning. Both the ABET and the CSAB are recognized as bona fide accreditation institutions in their respective fields. The integration promises to strengthen the computing and engineering communities, foster greater commonality among accredited computing programs, and improve the quality of computing education. The integration should be complete by the summer of 2000. But how will the pending integration affect previously accrcdited programs? What will the new structure look like? WhRt is CSAB's role in the integration? What will happen to the CSAC of the CSAB? What will happen io the EAC of the ABET? How are the ACM and the IEEE

Its purpose is to conduct pertinent research in artificial intelligence and to perform activities ancillary to this research. This report describes progress that has been made in the first year of the existence of the NAIC

These benefits place greater responsibilities on the sponsoring professional societies to ensure a smooth transition and to provide a long-lasting asset to the profession. The society perspectives on the integration are presented

In this paper we formulate criteria which a design methodology for parallel systems should satisfy and explore the use of various models as the basis for such a design tool.

They will also learn about the revision process and will have the opportunity to provide comment and opinion on drafting an update of the joint ACM and IEEE Computer Society document from 2004 titled, "Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Engineering" known also as CE2004. The authors of this workshop welcome all participation including overall comments and targeted editing assistance from the computer engineering education community. This activity will ensure that an updated document is a forwardlooking summary of state-of-the-art educational practices in the computer engineering field.
