Founded in 1979, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) (formerly the American Association for Artificial Intelligence) is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to advancing the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines. AAAI sponsors conferences and workshops and publishes a quarterly journal, books and reports. The site includes information about AI topics, membership in the association, publications of the association, and a digital library including some of the association's publications.

The SEI is a federally funded research and development center conducting software engineering research in acquisition, architecture and product lines, process improvement and performance measurement, security, and system interoperability and dependability. The SEI works closely with defense and government organizations, industry, and academia to continually improve our software-intensive systems. To accomplish this, the SEI performs research to explore promising solutions to software engineering problems, identifies and codifies technological and methodological solutions, tests and refines the solutions through pilot programs that help industry and government solve their problems, and widely disseminates proven solutions through training, licensing, and publication of best practices.
