phasis is placed on development of scientific databases and related methods for effective scientific data analyses. The Interactive Systems Program concentrates on human-machine interface & adaptation in real & virtual environments, interactive visualization, and multimedia & multisensory systems for high performance computing systems. This program also supports the Speech Processing component of the grand challenge --Speech/Language. The Robotics and Machine Intelligence Program supports high performance computer architectures and software algorithms for machine vision, multisensor fusion, robotic perception/reasoning/action, intelligent control, and mobile robotic navigation which address the grand challenge problem--Vision. preparation.

The pre-history of any Science is characterized by naive--often imprecise--observations, and naive--often incorrect--theories. However, as the Philosophy of Science has been refined, and the Scientific Method defined, attention has been focussed on the inconsistencies in our observations and our theories, and our hypotheses have become further removed from directly observable reality, and our theories from our common sense understanding of the world. Thus, in the Physical Sciences,
