I would like to indicate a web resource promoting the advancement of artificial intelligence and of excellence in artificial intelligence education, http://www.phoster.com/ . The indicated resource is, at once, of use to interdisciplinary research,
including cognitive science and artificial intelligence research. The table of contents of the website is available at http://www.phoster.com/contents/ .

Our current and upcoming research topics include artificial mental simulation en route to artificial imagination. Artificial mental simulation is at the intersection of cognitive architecture and computer simulation architecture, inspired by episodic
working memory. The research advances artificial intelligence while simultaneously advancing computer simulation.

Artificial mental simulation research topics include the comprehension of domain-independent scientific simulations for dialogue systems to answer questions about or to explain the contents of simulations. Artificial mental simulation research topics
include the transduction of descriptive, explanatory and narrative rhetoric to and from working memory content as well as the understanding and generation of narratives. Scalable artificial mental simulation architectures, including with capabilities
for symbolic reasoning and interpretation, broaden the capabilities of forthcoming intelligent tutoring systems for literature.

Artificial mental simulation research topics are proximate to those of computer vision and of computer perception as artificial mental simulation research models the working memory that sensors provide information into and that sensory processing
interacts with. Working memory models include the storage of 3D reconstructions of environments, representations of environments, for recognition, processing and comprehension. The research includes comprehensive models of concepts with facets
including visuospatial or computational geometric.

Artificial mental simulation research topics include the bidirectional connections between concepts, forms and functions as well as the procedural cognitive processes of mental design, mechanistic reasoning and engineering, including the cognitive
processes pertaining to the blending of design spaces.

The imagination has long fascinated cognitive science and research into artificial imagination can provide new scientific understanding of the mind as well as new technologies.

The advancement of science, of artificial intelligence and of education are philanthropic. At the Phoster Corporation, our philanthropic endeavors advance artificial intelligence, education, democracy, economics, computational ethics, argumentation,
nutritional and biomedical science.

Your donations help to sustain our organization and to benefit the communities which we serve. With your support, our expanding research, development and philanthropic endeavors can continue to advance science, to educate, equip and empower individuals,
organizations and communities, to advance collaboration, productivity, industry and economies, to address global issues and challenges, and to provide new solutions.

We hope that the aforementioned web resource, http://www.phoster.com/, was of use to you and we invite you to visit our donations page at http://www.phoster.com/support/ for more information and to make a donation.


Thank you,

The story of artificial intelligence is an exciting one, one of discovery and of innovation, one of science and of service, one of determination, perseverance and of hard work. The forthcoming advancements of artificial intelligence indicated are
considerable; so too shall be the hard work in the years ahead.

Artificial mental simulation and artificial imagination are biologically-inspired, cognition-based, engineering approaches to computational modeling and simulation systems and to computer-automated design and engineering systems. Artificial mental
simulation and artificial imagination research advance the tools of design, engineering and manufacturing, the tools of industry, business intelligence and economics, the tools of the arts, of the sciences and of education.

Artificial mental simulation and artificial imagination research topics include: (1) the comprehension of domain-independent scientific simulations for dialogue systems to answer questions about or to explain the contents of simulations, (2) the
understanding and generation of natural language, of descriptive, explanatory, narrative rhetoric, and of stories, (3) the processes of the transduction of rhetoric and multimedia to and from working memory content, (4) comprehensive models of concepts
with facets including visuospatial or computational geometric, (5) the features, modalities and facets of concepts extending beyond phenomenological avenues of sensation to also include noumenological avenues of sensation, for example valence, (6) the
bidirectional connections between concepts, forms and functions, and (7) the procedural cognitive processes of mental design, mechanistic reasoning and engineering, including the cognitive processes pertaining to the formulation of, the retrieval, reuse,
revision and retention of, as well as the blending of design spaces.

Artificial mental simulation and artificial imagination research advance topics including: (1) natural language understanding, (2) inferencing, (3) situation modeling, (4) sensemaking, (5) situational awareness, (6) narrative comprehension, (7) story
visualization, (8) natural language generation, (9) computer-aided storytelling, (10) computer-automated storytelling, (11) scientific visualization, (12) natural language explanations of scientific simulations, (13) instructional design, (14) serious
games, (15) on-the-fly instructional simulation content generation, (16) multimedia communication, (17) multimedia dialogue systems, and (18) intelligent tutoring systems.

Artificial mental simulation is capable of modeling the working memory that sensors provide information into and that sensory processing, e.g. computer vision and perception, interacts with. Models of working memory include the storage of 3D
reconstructions of environments, representations of environments, for recognition, processing and comprehension.

Biologically-inspired computer simulation architectures have superhuman performance capabilities. Such architectures can: (1) simulate, distribute attention over, perceive, search and comprehend arbitrarily vast simulations at arbitrary scales of space
and time, (2) simulate arbitrarily intricate mechanisms or mechanistic systems, (3) utilize multiple mind's eyes or perspectives, perspectives beyond bird's eye view or embodied, (4) process parallel simulations, including as components of planning
heuristics, (5) process parallel simulations as per Monte Carlo heuristics to obtain stochastic information, (6) perceive, comprehend and reason about probabilistic simulation dynamics, (7) perceive quantitative physical properties of simulations,
including derived such quantitative properties, (8) utilize attention to distribute and move finite element nodes, (9) vary the models of simulations or parameters of the models of simulations, including based on attention, contexts, or reasoning
processes during tasks, and (10) simulate artificial forms of life, digital characters, economic systems as well as ecosystems.

At the Phoster Corporation, our philanthropic endeavors advance artificial intelligence, education, democracy, economics, computational ethics, argumentation, nutritional and biomedical science.
