This book mentions some image recognition problems, a robotics motion problem, the Mach operating system, and has an intriguing paper on information-based complexity.

Senator Al Gore introduced a computing and communication bill in 1991, which funded Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina at the NCSA, who developed Mosaic. Academic computer science had nothing to do with it!
