[comp.ai] Blackboard References

schulz@rhrk.uni-kl.de (Christian Schulz [MW]) (03/28/91)

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.

Some comments to the list of references:

1. 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)

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).
