Electronic Colloquium on
Reasoning about Actions and Change


Directory of research groups

This list contains research groups in the area of reasoning about actions and change. Also included are departments or institutes where this research topic is a large, but not a dominant activity. Finally, the list includes a few networks and cooperation projects.

The first part of the list contains member groups in Compulog's SIG for Spatial and Temporal Reasoning. This SIG has made its materials available for the present ETAI Colloquium. The exact forms of continued cooperation between the ETAI and Compulog activities are being discussed with the parties involved.

The list is generated from a small database of research groups, universities, cities, etc. The abbreviation or code within brackets is the identifier that is used in the database for the group in question.

Other (non-member) groups

This section of the list contains other research groups in the field, besides those who have applied to be SIG-STER member nodes. Groups both inside and outside of Europe are included. Most of the entries have been obtained, with his approval, from a collection by Rob Miller: "a WWW page giving a list of research groups and individual researchers concerned with Reasoning About Actions." We will be happy to include additional groups; contributions are invited.
