Rita Rodriguez
Rita Rodriguez was a driving force behind the early FLAIRS. Rita was a faculty member at FIT about the time FLAIRS was “born”, specializing in AI, in particular, Temporal Reasoning. She was part of the original core group that started FLAIRS in September 1987, at a meeting of Computer Science faculty in Florida. The early FLAIRS conferences would not have happened without her efforts and generous personal contributions.
