I will be at
CMNA 9 on the 13th of July and given the nice mixture of theory and application at previous CMNA workshops, I thought that this XKCD strip would fit nciely. This year's
CMNA will be held during
IJCAI in Pasadena, California which means that I have some intercontinental travel coming up. First though I will be spending a week at Brooklyn College in N.Y. visiting
Simon Parsons and finding out about their argumentation, intelligent agent, and C.S. Education research. Luckily this will coincide with the
Bridges to Computing summer school which should give me some food for thought on how other institutions attract and retain C.S. students. Hopegully this will be a busy, exciting, and productive east coast stopover on the way to California.
