CLIPS - environment, examples and documentation

The CLIPS home page - developers forum, FAQ etc...

Jess - the Java Expert System Shell - Jess lets you integrate what you already know about Java with the powerful CLIPS environment. Using Jess, you can build Java applets and applications that have the capacity to "reason" using knowledge you supply in the form of declarative rules. Jess is surprisingly fast, and for some problems is faster than CLIPS itself. The core Jess language is compatible with CLIPS, in that many Jess scripts are valid CLIPS scripts and vice-versa. Like CLIPS, Jess uses the Rete algorithm to process rules, a very efficient mechanism for solving the difficult many-to-many matching problem. Jess adds many features to CLIPS, including backwards chaining and the ability to manipulate and directly reason about Java objects. Jess is also a powerful Java scripting environment, from which you can create Java objects and call Java methods without compiling any Java code. The download contains all the Jess classes, examples and documentation. Jess Version 6.1 is here!

Weka - The University of Waikato  java data mining tool. For more information on Weka go to the project's homepage - versions for other platforms (linux)  can be downloaded from the project's website..

Tanagra - a free data mining tool for research and education.

The GA Playground - a collection of GA java applets and test optimisation problems

Some websites with GA applets I demoed during the lectures:

• http://homepage.sunrise.ch/homepage/pglaus/gentore.htm
• http://www.csam.montclair.edu/~bredlau/ants.html
• http://www.ads.tuwien.ac.at/~guenther/tspga/TSPGA.html

NaCaDOE - Navy Conversational Decision Aids Environment, a conversational CBR tool. Note: there is no user documentation with this system. There is a sample case-base (printer diagnostics). I suggest you start by exploring the printer case-base to explore the functionality of this tool.

The Cyc public domain ontology - go to www.cyc.com for the latest version
