We  also  wish  to  thank  the  IPFW  Sigma  Xi  chapter,  and  the  IPFW  computer  science   department,  for  their  financial  support.       The  little  details  matter  tremendously  in  planning  events  like  these,  and  those   details  were  meticulously  taken  care  of  by  Makaylia  Rosebrock,  an  IPFW   undergraduate  student  who  worked  for  months  to  help  plan  the  conference.       We  thank  our  speakers,  Dr.  Selmer  Bringsjord  and  Dr.  John  E.  Hummel,  for  not  only   giving  highly  engaging  and  fascinating  talks,  but  for  participating  in  a  panel   discussion  that  will  be  remembered  for  years  to  come.       Finally,  thanks  again  to  all  of  our  program  committee  members,  particularly  Michael   Glass,  who  went  above  and  beyond  his  responsibilities  as  a  program  committee   member.  These  proceedings  were  compiled  by  Michael,  and  he  offered  us  lots  of   helpful  advice  that  made  organizing  this  conference  much  easier.         Dr.  John  Licato   Dr.  Aleshia  Hayes   MAICS  2017  Conference  Chairs
