BIOGRAPHY

Ronald D. Bonnell received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical
Engineering from the University of Kentucky in 1957 and 1961, respectively.
He completed further graduate studies in dynamics and control at the
University of Tennessee from 1961 to 1965. He held an NSF Traineeship
in computers and control from Georgia Institute of Technology from 1965 to
1967. He was an engineer with IBM (1957--1961), was a member of the faculty
of the University of Tennessee (1961--1965) and a member of the faculty of
the University of Kentucky (1967--1970). He has served as Chairman of the
Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and as the Director of the
Center for Machine Intelligence at the University of South Carolina.
Professor Bonnell is a PE, a senior member of the IEEE, and a member of ACM,
AAAI, and IAKE.
