David E. Smith
I retired from NASA Ames Research Center in Jan 2018, so my NASA
email address is no longer active,
and my NASA webpage and publications page have not been updated
since then. I have scaled back on
my professional activities, but am still doing some consulting,
independent research, and helping to advise
a few graduate students. I am also remaining active with AAAI and
ICAPS for the foreseeable future.
