Eugene's RADAR work
I am working on the
RADAR
project, which is a large research project in the
School
of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon
University. The purpose is to build an intelligent system that helps
a human administrator to perform office-management tasks, including allocation
of rooms, scheduling of meetings, processing of e-mail, and maintenance
of web pages. The system has to perform these tasks not only in everyday
life, but also in crisis situations, such as emergency re-planning of conference
presentations due to last-minute changes in the availability of rooms and
speakers. The RADAR project has its own web
page, which includes a lot of information about the related work.
I am working on the room allocation task, called
RADAR/Space-Time,
which involves automated allocation of offices, conference rooms, and other
space resources. The related research areas include representation of uncertain
knowledge about available resources, optimization based on uncertain knowledge,
elicitation of user preferences, negotiations for office space, planning
of high-level actions, learning of user behavior, and adaptation to new
types of space-allocation tasks.
