The purpose of the MIT Press Series in Artificial Intelligence is to provide people in many areas, both professionals and students, with timely, detailed information about what is happening on the frontiers of artificial intelligence and computer science in research centers all over the world. This series is no longer active, and the MIT Press is no longer accepting proposals for books in the series.
