- <p>The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence
- GmbH, DFKI was founded in 1988. Today, DFKI is one of the largest
- non-profit contract research institutes in the field of innovative
- software technology based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. DFKI
- is focusing on the complete cycle of innovation - from world-class basic
- research and technology development through leading-edge demonstrators
- and prototypes to product functions and commercialization. Based in
- Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken, the German Research Center for
- Artificial Intelligence ranks among the important ``Centers of
- Excellence'' worldwide. The key directors of DFKI are Prof. Dr. Wolfgang
- Wahlster (CEO) and Dr. Walter G. Olthoff (CFO).DFKI's mission is
- technology transfer, that is to move innovations in AI as quickly as
- possible from the lab into the marketplace by maintaining research
- projects at the forefront of science. Expertise and experience of the
- company DFKI has strong expertise in each of the following domains:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Information Management and Document Analysis (Director: Prof. Dr.
- Andreas Dengel)</li>
- <li>Intelligent Visualization and Simulation Systems
- (Director: Prof. Dr. Hans Hagen)</li>
- <li>Deduction and Multiagent Systems (Director: Prof.
- Dr. Jorg Siekmann)</li>
- <li>Language Technology (Director: Prof. Dr. Hans Uszkoreit)</li>
- <li>Intelligent User Interfaces (Director: Prof. Dr.
- Wolfgang Wahlster)</li>
- </ul>
- <p>DFKI is involved in numerous industrial, academian
- projects including projects in the current EC IST programme dealing with
- research and development in the broad areas of intelligent interface
- agents, and multiagent systems for applications in supply-chain
- management, virtual enterprises, e-commerce and advanced information
- systems. The partners of the DFKI are leading large-scale
- concerns such as DaimlerChrysler, SAP, and Alcatel, plus the two
- universities of Kaiserlautern and Saarbrucken. In the range of
- medium-sized firms INSIDERS, IDS Scheer, Tecmath and KIBG are to be added.
- Finally, the two most important large-scale research centers on
- international level, i.e. the Fraunhofer Society and GMD, round off the
- circle of partners. DFKI is part of several European Networks of
- Excellence such as AgentLink and CompuLog.</p>
- <p>Recently, an Education Technology Group of DFKI, headed
- by Prof. J.H. Siekmann, has been established. It has carried out basic
- research and applications in several fields of AI, including presentation
- planning (for education material), user modeling, proof planning,
- knowledge representation (for educational and mathematical Web-documents)
- and integration of (mathematical services). Its main prototypical product
- so far has been the Web-based, user-adaptive, generative learning
- environment ActiveMath that integrates several external services.
- Members of the group are actively involved in the international academic
- life by organizing or contributing to conferences and workshops.</p>
