This volume celebrates the 25th anniversary of the founding of MIT's Project MAC. It covers the full range of ongoing computer science research at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, both of which grew out of the original Project MAC. Researchers from the faculties and staff of the laboratories highlight current research and future activities in multiprocessors and parallel computer architectures, in languages and systems for distributed computing, in intelligent systems (AI) and robotics, in complexity and learning theory, in software methodology, in programming language theory, in software for engineering research and education, and in the relation between computers and economic productivity. The contributors include: Harold Abelson; Arvind; Rodney Brooks; David Clark; Fernando Corbato; William Dally; Michael Dertouzos; John Guttag; Berthold K.P. Horn; Barbara Liskov; Albert Meyer; Nicholas Negroponte; Marc Raibert; Ronald Rivest; Michael Sipser; Gerald Sussman; Peter Szolovits; John Updike.
