The Impact

A study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology concluded that in a large city, a minimum of eight ambulances per 500,000 population was desirable to assure a reasonable response time.How does a large city with less than this suggested minimum make best use of its available ambulance units ?A three week study was conducted in New York City to examine the impact of various dispatching procedures on response time, “backlog”, availability of “back-up” units and patient care.

The factors that define and influence the success of industry–academic research in artificial intelligence have evolved significantly in the last decade. In this article, we consider what success means from both sides of a collaboration and offer our perspectives on how to approach the opportunities and challenges that come with achieving success. These perspectives are grounded on the recent and significant investments that have been made between IBM and several higher education institutions around the world, including IBM’s Artificial Intelligence Horizons Network, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology–IBM Watson Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Quest for Intelligence.

I came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in September, 1995, intending to stay as a researcher at its Artificial Intelligence Laboratory for two years. Cambridge and the environs of Boston where MIT is located is dotted with a number of universities and colleges, including Harvard University and Tuft College, and also with businesses related to universities. In addition, the area is full of venture-capital enterprises related to computers. Because of the presence of numerous universities and colleges a large number of people are gathered here from all over the world.
