[sci.nanotech] Eurisko Information Wanted

jdb@dkstar.UUCP (Jon Bennett) (05/09/89)

	I just finished a book by K. Eric Drexler called
	_Engines of Creation_.  In the book, Eric mentions
	a program developed by Douglas Lenat at Stanford University
	called EURISKO.  The descriptions of EURISKO sounded
	fascinating.

	I was wondering if anyone out there in netland could 
	tell me more about EURISKO and where I could get some
	information about the program.  Is there a book!!??

	ANY information would be greatly appreciated.

	Thanks....	Jon

[Most popular books on AI will have an account of it.  Johnson's
 "Machinery of the Mind" for example has a chapter on AM and Eurisko.
 (NY Times Books, 1986).

      See Lenat's "Why AM and Eurisko Appear to Work" in Bernado Huberman's
"Computational Ecology".

[Huberman, Bernardo, ed: "The Ecology of Computation" 
 Elsevier North-Holland: Amsterdam, 1988
 Besides the above, contains three articles by Mark Miller and 
 Eric Drexler.  Highly reccommended.  (Also highly expensive.)
