Commonsense'07, the 8th International Symposium on Logical Formalizations of Commonsense Reasoning, was held as part of the AAAI Spring Symposium Series, March 26-28 2007, at Stanford University, California, USA.

John McCarthy

We have been pleased to dedicate this symposium to John McCarthy, who will be 80 years old in September 2007. John McCarthy is, of course, the father of formal commonsense reasoning. We hope this dedication goes some small way to acknowledging the enormous contribution he has made to the field, and the lasting leadership and vision he has provided for many of us.

Here is a link to some tributes and messages for John.
