[comp.ai.digest] Query - Learning software

rw@aiva.edinburgh.ac.UK (Richard White) (10/13/87)

The Edinburgh Computing and Social Responsibility (CSR) group
are looking for software which may beused or adapted for use 
in an AI teaching module which will (hopefully!) be offered to
Scottish school children in 1988, at least on a trial basis. 

The module, aimed at 16-18 year olds, is concerned with the
study of learning in both human and machines. Areas of
interest include induction, discovery and analogy based learning.


What we are short of are sample programs which can be used to 
illustrate some of the problems involved in the study and simulation
of these processes. By necessity these have to be simple and relatively
small, the target machines being Nimbus's (British IBM-compatible PC).

Prolog would be the preferable language, but then we can't be too choosy!
Software should be public domain as we are running on a **very** small
budget. 

If anyone knows of anything which might be suitable we would be very
grateful to hear about it. Could you Email any replies DIRECT to me.

Thanks in anticipation,

Richard White (on behalf of CSR group)
