From: AIList (Kenneth Laws, Moderator) <AIList-REQUEST@SRI-AI> AIList Digest Saturday, 4 Jun 1983 Volume 1 : Issue 11 Today's Topics: Quasiformal languages Prolog Expert Systems Expert Systems Bibliography [truncated] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri 6 May 83 17:50:20-PDT From: PEREIRA@SRI-AI.ARPA Subject: Quasiformal languages [Reprinted from the Prolog Digest.] LESK is [a quasiformal] language, developed by Doug Skuce of the CS Dept. of the University of Ottawa, Canada. He has implemented it in Prolog. The language allows the definition of classes (types), isa relationships, and complex part-whole relationships, and has a formal semantics (it's just logic in disguise). It has a nice English-like flavor. A reference is "Expressing Qualitative Biomedical Knowledge Exactly Using the Language LESK", D. S. Skuce, Comput. Biol. Med., vol. 15, no. 1, pp. 57-69, 1982.

There is also a brief bibliography by Michael Rychener in the Oct. 1981 issue of SIGART and an extensive bibliography by Bruce Buchanan in the April 1983 issue of SIGART. These three lists have almost no overlap. I present here an additional list of references for expert systems, problem solving, and learning. It contains only references not given in the previously mentioned sources. I am still looking for material on expert systems and vision. I have lists of technical reports from Stanford, MIT, and SRI. I have also gone through the latest proceedings for IJCAI, AAAI, PatRec, PRIP, and the DARPA IU Workshop. Other sources or machine-readable citations would be most welcome. Please send them to Laws@SRI-AI or to the AIList. -- Ken Laws J. Bamberger, Capturing Intuitive Knowledge in Procedural Description, AIM-398 (LOGO Memo 42), AI-MIT, Dec. 1976. H.G.

Those who are interested may FTP it from <AILIST>V1N11.TXT on SRI-AI. Let me know if you need help: I can mail a few copies or establish additional FTP sites. -- KIL] ------------------------------ End of AIList Digest ********************
