My first real introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) was in the Spring of 1983, when Mark Fox gave a talk to the graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) business school. Mark inspired me into imagining a future cognitive business organization and was well connected with business problems in manufacturing. I was searching for a Ph.D. research topic and eventually gathered the courage to walk up to his office at CMU’s Robotics Institute and beg for a research position. He was at that time the director of Intelligent Systems Lab and was working on a number of research projects to explore a knowledge representation language named Schema Representation Language (SRL). The Robotics Institute and the Computer Science department provided me with a wonderful exposure to a grand vision of Cognitive Things––including vision, mobile robots, speech analysis, and factory automation. Over the next three years, I got a chance to meet and learn from some of CMU’s masters in the field––Herb Simon, Raj Reddy, Mark Fox, Jaime Carbonell, John McDermott. Pat Langley, John Anderson, and many more. Mark also was the one to introduce me to Distributed Artificial Intelligence, which inspired the concept of Cognitive Things. At that time, I was dealing wi
