Austin Parker, an American computer scientist, Ph.D. in 2008 from University of Maryland, College Park under Dana S. Nau and V.S. Subrahmanian. His research interests include computational decision making and knowledge representation, in particularly probabilistic spatial temporal knowledge. Along with Dana S. Nau et al., he further worked and published on search pathology and how to avoid it. As game programmer, he is author of the KriegSpiel bot Kbott, which played the 11th Computer Olympiad, KriegSpiel 2006 in Turin.
