Nils John Nilsson is one of the founding researchers in the discipline of Artificial intelligence. He is the first Kumagai Professor of Engineering in Computer Science at Stanford University, position that he held since the chair was established in 1990 through 1995. He is particularly famous for his contributions to search, planning, knowledge representation, and robotics. Nilsson received his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1958, and spent much of his career at SRI International, a private research lab spun off from Stanford. His research has been based mainly on the premise that intelligence is based on knowledge that must be represented explicitly. Wikipedia [ - ]
