The University of Lowell's continuing seminar series continues through the
summer with
THE SNePS SEMANTIC NETWORK PROCESSING SYSTEM
Stuart C. Shapiro

Department of Computer Science
State University of New York at Buffalo
The SNePS Semantic Network Processing System is a semantic network
knowledge representation and reasoning system with facilities for build-
ing semantic networks to represent virtually any kind of information,
retrieving information from them, and performing inference with them.
Users can interact with SNePS in a variety of interface languages,
including a LISP-like user language, a menu-based screen-oriented edi-
tor, a graphics-oriented editor, a higher-order-logic language, and an
extendible fragment of English.
We will discuss the syntax and semantics of SNePS considered as an
intensional knowledge-representation system and provide examples of uses
of SNePS for cognitive modeling, database management, pattern recogni-
tion, expert systems, belief revision, and computational linguistics.
