Hallo there, a fiew weeks ago I asked in comp.ai for references to the current research in the domain of blackboard architectures. I got a lot of hints and answers. Thanks a lot. Some people asked me to summarize this to the net. In posting this mail I do so. If anybody works on the application of blackboard architectures in the field of planning, please contact me at the adress below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.

I put all answers I got directly into this list. That means I haven't edited them in order to avoid redundant references. This is also the reason for posting some German phrases. 2. I can recommend the following articles/book: - R. Engelmore, T. Morgan (eds.): Blackboard Systems. (Addison-Wesley, 1988, ISBN 0-201-17431-6) - the articles by Nii (AI-Magazine 1986 Nr. 2 & 3) %=============================================================================% % % % % % LIDO-MAILSERVER % % fuer KI-Literatur % % (Optionen: nolatex substring deutsch) % % % % % % Organisation: Dr. Alfred Kobsa % % FB Informatik, Univ. d.

Da uni-kl in Deutschland liegt, meine Antwort in deutscher Sprache. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Es gibt ueber aktuelle Entwicklungen im BB-Bereich zwei umfangreiche Buecher, die (relativ) aktuell sind: R. Engelmore, T. Morgan (eds.): Blackboard Systems. (Addison-Wesley, 1988, ISBN 0-201-17431-6) V. Jagannathan, R. Dodhiawala, L.S. Baum (eds.): Blackboard Architectures and Applications. (Academic Press, 1989, ISBN 0-12-379940-6) Das erste Buch enthaelt viele "klassische" Aufsaetze zu BB-Thematik, waehrend das zweite Buch den aktuellen Stand (aus der Sicht von 1989) der BB-Entwicklung aufzeigt. Beide Buecher enthalten umfangreiche Bibliographien, so dass man zu allen Systemen und Fragestellungen auf weiterfuehrende Literatur verwiesen wird. Will man den heutigen Stand der BB-Entwicklung sichten, ist man auf Konferenzbaende von KI-Konferenzen angewiesen (etwa IJCAI, AAAI oder ECAI - nur um einige wenige zu nennen). C.
