Abstract
Beverly Woolf is an Assistant Professor and a Research Scientist at the University of Massachusetts, Computer and Information Science Department. Her work covers two areas of Artificial Intelligence: knowledge representation and control structures, in relation to the production of effective human-machine communication.
