[comp.ai] Hearsay-II reference request

mcgrawg@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Gary McGraw) (07/23/90)

I am looking for pointers to references to the Hearsay-II project.  The
most up-to-date reference I have found is dated 1977 (IJCAI).  Are there
any reports regarding current work on the project?  I am mostly interested
in reports generated by the researchers themselves, as opposed to
popular press or student papers.  I haven't made much of an effort at
a literature search yet and thought this forum might be a good place to
start.  Thanks in advance for any references.
