From the KIC website (www.nrl.navy.mil/media/events/kic/):
The Naval Research Laboratory, the Department of the Navy’s corporate laboratory, has initiated the Karles Invitational Conference as an annual series in recognition of the distinguished career contributions of Dr. Jerome Karle, 1985 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, and Dr. Isabella Karle, a 1993 Bower Award Laureate and 1995 recipient of the National Medal of Science. This year’s conference will be on Intelligent Autonomous Systems Science and Technology (IASST). It will be held at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, on Monday and Tuesday, January 13-14, 2014.
The purpose of the NRL Karle’s Invitational Conference on IASST is to bring together leading researchers in intelligent autonomous systems with scientific leaders in the Washington, D.C. area to discuss and to evaluate the status of research in this area and its promise for future technologies.
