> lem@galbp.UUCP > Lisa Meyer has requested information on expert systems, PD and PC related > tools. Lisa, I suggest that you start with Waterman's "A Guide to Expert Systems", as well as looking in your University book store and local commercial book stores and computer stores. This will give you a working bibliography to pursue. Most tools listed in the Waterman book are public domain and can often be obtained from the respective institution for a nominal price (usually of a tape). Periodicals include IEEE Expert (quarterly), AI Expert (monthly), SIGART (ACM Sig on AI), and AI Magazine (AAAI, quarterly). Also, see the July 86 issue of Computer (IEEE Computer Society). There are a number of PC tools and languages available. Best place to look is Byte magazine and various PC magazines. There are a number of LISPs, PROLOGs and a good Smalltalk available. TI has SCHEME and 2 levels of Personal Consultant. Insight-2+ has also received good reviews. For Public Domain PC software, I suggest the CompuServe Information Service (CIS). There is a Forum sponsored by AI Expert magazine which has a great deal of PD tools. It's also a great place for getting information oriented towards PC's. Also, the following BBS'es: Boston, Mass.
