Power building (named after an executive of GTE ), in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains overlooking Stanford. During this period it was one of the leading centres for AI research.

In 1980, its activities were merged into the university's Computer Science Department and it moved into Margaret Jacks Hall in the main Stanford campus.

SAIL was reopened in 2004, with , Cognition , Computational Geometry , Computer Vision , Decision Theory , Distributed Systems , Game Theory , Image Processing , Information Retrieval , Knowledge Systems , Logic , Machine Learning , Multi-agent Systems , Natural Language , Neural Networks , Planning , Probabilistic Inference , Sensor Networks , and Robotics .


EARLY YEARS

The old SAIL building Photos of SAIL places and people , the D.C. Power Building, was located about 5 miles (8 km) from the main campus at 1600 Arastradero Road, midway between Page Mill Road and Alpine Road. The site was on a hill overlooking .

WAITS also ran on Foonly systems at CCRMA and LLL . At one time, the SAIL system was a triple processor KL10/KA10/PDP-6. The SAIL system was shut down in 1991.
