(photo of TAOCP, 1968–2015, by Héctor García-Molina) At the end of 1999, these books were named among the best twelve physical-science monographs of the century by American Scientist, along with: Dirac on quantum mechanics, Einstein on relativity, Mandelbrot on fractals, Pauling on the chemical bond, Russell and Whitehead on foundations of mathematics, von Neumann and Morgenstern on game theory, Wiener on cybernetics, Woodward and Hoffmann on orbital symmetry, Feynman on quantum electrodynamics, Smith on the search for structure, and Einstein's collected papers.

It will run from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2008. This project is designed to promote training and research in model theory, a part of mathematical logic dealing with abstract structures (models), historically with connections to other areas of mathematics.

Over the years I have contributed to several innovative and useful software systems: JavaScript and Web tools, Flowlog and related tools, Racket (formerly DrScheme), WeScheme, Margrave, Flapjax, FrTime, Continue, FASTLINK, (Per)Mission, and more. For some of what I've been doing lately, please see my research group's blog. Recently, I have decided to devote a substantial portion of my time and energy to the hardest problem I've worked on: computer science education.

It's the hardest because it requires substantial work on both technical and human-factors fronts; the audience is often unsophisticated and vulnerable; and if you screw up, you can do real damage to not only individuals but also the field and society. I recently wrote up a manifesto for my new direction [the same text is on both Facebook and Google+]. AI memories — expert systems.

December 3, 2015 This is part of a four post series spanning two blogs.

AI memories — expert systems

As I mentioned in my quick AI history overview, I was pretty involved with AI vendors in the 1980s. Here on some notes on what was going on then, specifically in what seemed to be the hottest area at the time — expert systems. Summing up: The expert systems business never grew to be very large, but it garnered undue attention (including from me).

First, some basics. The core expert system metaphor was: Facts in.A question (often implicit) in.A recommended decision out.The essential technology of expert systems was what we’d now call a “rules engine”, but then was often called an “expert systems shell” or “inference engine”.The development process consisted of “knowledge engineers” talking to human experts and coming up with rules.Any product could handle 10s of rules. Anyhow: All combined, the expert system vendors didn’t accomplish much. Teknowledge was basically the company that commercialized EMYCIN. Recursion. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.
