[comp.ai] Blackboard shells

peb@cs.nott.ac.uk (Paul E Bramall) (07/06/90)

I'm looking for information about blackboard system shells, the main
one i've heard about is AGE. Can anyone supply information about this or
any other shells, such as price, functionality, availability etc.

My area of research is cursive handwriting recognition. I'd be interested
to know of any other attempts to apply blackboard systems to this or
similar fields.

The COINS (Computer and Information Sciences) group
at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst developed
a system called GBB (Generic Blackboard Development
System).
This system was written in Common Lisp.  When I
experitmented with GBB a few years ago, it was
running on Symbolics Lisp Machines. 

GBB Version 2, which is an enhanced version of the
UMass system, is now available from
