While at
SRI International, Georgeff was involved in the development of the
Procedural Reasoning System and its application to monitor the Reaction Control System of the
NASA Space Shuttle Discovery in 1997. Georgeff's work on PRS popularized the field of
Intelligent agents and defined the
Belief–Desire–Intention (BDI) software model for programming intelligent agents. In 1988, Georgeff was invited back to Australia to start the
Australian Artificial Intelligence Institute which continued work developing and commercializing intelligent agent technology. While at the AAII, Georgeff started
Agentis International to explore the commercialization of
intelligent agent technology. Georgeff was instrumental in at least the following contributions to the field of
Intelligent Software Agents:
Procedural Reasoning System: An intelligent agent architecture and framework and seminal example of the BDI software model; and
Belief–Desire–Intention: An intentional software framework for programming intelligent agents based on the
BDI cognitive model. In the early 2000s, Georgeff joined
Monash University as director of the e-Health Research Unit of the Monash Institute of Health Services Research, to investigate the application of advanced
ICT to health and medicine. Georgeff founded and is
CEO of
Precedence Health Care, a company dedicated to investigating the commercialization of
eHealth technology. He was the academic supervisor of
Rodney Brooks (former director of the MIT Media lab, and founder of IRobot), and
Christian Guttmann (global head of Artificial Intelligence and Vice President at Tieto, professor at UNSW). He was elected an
AAAI Fellow in 1995. == References ==
