Hello,

On 14th February, 1996 at 5pm GMT, Luc Steels (Free U. Brussels & Sony
Japan), creator of '2nd Generation Expert Systems', flying robots and
intelligent agents, will be participating in a live and interactive
broadcast over the internet.  The broadcast is part of a sequence of
events hosted by the Knowledge Media Institute, of The Open
University, which have so far featured Henry Lieberman (MIT Media
Lab), Borre Ludvigsen (HIO Norway), Richard Cogger (Cornell
University) and Peter Cochrane (BT Labs).

Luc's interests have spanned the whole of AI: natural language
processing, knowledge representation, perception and action, problem
solving, learning.  He is also interested in science in general,
particularly chaos theory and its application in different areas of
science and technology ranging from physics and chemistry to biology
and economics.

Anyone is welcome to participate in the event, anywhere in the world.
The minimum hardware requirements are a internet connection, sound and
a web browser.  It even works via a 14.4 baud modem.  The Stadium
utilizes Real Audio and CU-SeeMe software, which can be downloaded
from the Stadium WWW Page.  So drop by, listen, look and ask Luc a
question!
