Resources: COMPSCI 367 Semester 2, City Campus

This course makes extensive use of the AAAI Topics (these are referred to from various lecture notes).

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach - the website for the course text featuring, comments and discussion, comprehensive list of AI resources and code from the book

AUTOMATED PLANNING: Theory and Practice by Ghallab, Nau, and Traverso is an excellent book on planning. Several of the planning lectures use the slides created by Dana Nau (University of Maryland). The chapters those lectures are based on are here. They are well-worth looking at.

Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents by David Poole and Alan Mackworth is an alternative introduction to AI. It is entirely online and has many online resources.

Nils J. Nilsson (an AI pioneer) has written a book The Quest for Artificial Intelligence: A History of Ideas and Achievements. This book is an excellent introduction to the history and development of AI and he has made a complete version available for download.

The CLIPS - environment, examples and documentation

The CLIPS home page - developers forum, FAQ etc...

PyCLIPS Python Module - PyCLIPS is a module to interface Python and the CLIPS expert system shell and library. The aim of PyCLIPS is to provide Python with a strong, reliable, widely used and well documented inference engine.

Jess - the Java Expert System Shell - Jess lets you integrate what you already know about Java with the powerful CLIPS environment. Using Jess, you can build Java applets and applications that have the capacity to "reason" using knowledge you supply in the form of declarative rules. Jess is surprisingly fast, and for some problems is faster than CLIPS itself. The core Jess language is compatible with CLIPS, in that many Jess scripts are valid CLIPS scripts and vice-versa. Like CLIPS, Jess uses the Rete algorithm to process rules, a very efficient mechanism for solving the difficult many-to-many matching problem. Jess adds many features to CLIPS, including backwards chaining and the ability to manipulate and directly reason about Java objects. Jess is also a powerful Java scripting environment, from which you can create Java objects and call Java methods without compiling any Java code. The download contains all the Jess classes, examples and documentation.
