These committees contribute to and drive progress in the state of the art in their respective area, usually by forming working groups, i.e., groups that bring together experts in the field, organize meetings, and generally contribute to pushing research onward... Historically, cognitive science and artificial intelligence (AI) had many overlaps and developed nearly in parallel, with many key people involved in both areas and many common research interests. Consider the 1956 workshop on Artificial Intelligence at Dartmouth College (often considered the seminal event of AI as a research field) and the Symposium on Information Theory at MIT (often seen as `the birth' of cognitive science as a field) in the same year, with many overlapping participants.
