[comp.ai.edu] need instructional software

patten@giza.cis.ohio-state.edu (Terry Patten) (08/15/90)

We are looking for instructional software for our introductory AI
course.  Subjects of interest include search, frames and/or semantic
nets, resolution, means-ends analysis, planning.  We are looking for
tools that allow high-level exploration of these topics and shield the
students from implementation-level details.

    I would recommend the San Marco Explorer package for LISP from Gold HIll
    Computers.  It has demo programs that you can run to explore various
    topics in AI.  You can also look at the LISP code to see how the
    algorithms were implemented.

    A number of currently available AI texts have optional floppy disks
    you can buy that have sample programs that explore some of the AI
    topics you have mentioned. I  can't remember specific titles     
    
    Could you please post a summary of the replies you receive?
