Abstract
One of the goals of the workshop upon which this book is based was to explore the gap between Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by examining a central problem facing AI workers who are trying to build practical systems - the problem of communication. Examining communication from a Cognitive Science/AI perspective offers the prospect of bidirectional benefits. Not only might theoretical developments inform the design of practical systems (the traditional science-contributing-to-engineering direction), but we might also expect to find benefits flowing in the other direction so that experience in building practical systems can contribute to the development of a comprehensive theory of communication.
