 Annotated Blackboard-System Bibliography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This paper describes the original UMass GBB system, the generic flboard development system that was developed at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
The paper outlines the reasons why UMass GBB is unique, and it describes GBB's flboard structure and objects, implementation and instantiation of the flboard database, and unit creation and retrieval.
This paper discusses the data abstraction techniques used in the UMass GBB system to overcome the problem of conflicting goals in achieving flexibility, efficiency, and generality in a flboard architecture.

 AI Qual Summary: Depth Area: Agent Architectures
In most KR systems, to decide to kick a block at a bee requires reasoning from some general statement that in every situation satisfying certain requirements there will be some bee and some block that should be kicked at it.
First, the system considers what to learn from a problem-solving trace, then it considers how to best represent the learned information, and finally it empirically tests the utility of the resulting control rules to insure that they are actually useful.
The system interacts with the environment through the database (which acquires new beliefs in response to changes in the environment) and through the actions it performs as it carries out its intentions.

 Early Unix history and evolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
A file system without a way to exercise it is a sterile proposition, so he proceeded to flesh it out with the other requirements for a working operating system, in particular the notion of processes.
The most serious inconvenience of the implementation of the file system, aside from the lack of path names, was the difficulty of changing its configuration; as mentioned, directories and special files were both made only when the disk was recreated.
Perhaps the most important watershed occurred during 1973, when the operating system kernel was rewritten in C. It was at this point that the system assumed its modern form; the most far-reaching change was the introduction of multi-programming.

This passage clearly indicates that knowledge of the Indian number system was known in lands soon to become part of the Arab world as early as the seventh century.
Official scribes nevertheless avoid using [the Indian system] because it requires equipment [like a dust board] and they consider that a system that requires nothing but the members of the body is more secure and more fitting to the dignity of a leader.
The system was known as huruf al jumal which meant "letters for calculating" and also sometimes as abjad which is just the first four numbers (1 = a, 2 = b, j = 3, d = 4).

 EDUCAUSE REVIEW | July/August 2004, Volume 39, Number 4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Consider an ePortfolio system that uses a series of intelligent agents advising students on potential carrier opportunities, new coursework, and skill sets they should learn in their senior year based on a real-time market analysis of new jobs and that dynamically connects them to nearby companies for internship and summer job opportunities.
Building services of this type requires tools that provide effective and dependable transportability among different learning-management systems and databases—efforts that could be problematic both because of the technical aspects and because of any licensing restrictions that may be present in the existing licensed technology.
Today, however, ePortfolio systems are still in the refinement stage of inventing a new, sticky software environment in addition to developing a viable, dependable business plan to fund and support the ePortfolio environment for current students and future alumni.

 Intelligent Software Agent Bibliography - Steve Gant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The flboard architecture developed herein is considerably influenced by the flboard systems described in [Nii 1986].
However, it is different from other flboard architectures in its use of an object-oriented database for the flboard, where objects respond to various protocols; thus certain control tasks are performed by the flboard, which can be viewed as an intelligent database.
The flboard architecture is one of the most inspiring problem-solving paradigms in artificial intelligence, and the legacy of HEARSAY-II is evident in the various dimensions of flboard systems research and applications.
