Welcome to the Publications FTP directory at the Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Please use your complete email address as a password for anonymous
login. (example: zippy@mit.edu)
Many of our recent publications are on-line and it is our plan to put
all new publications on-line as they are published. Below is a
description of what is available on this ftp server and other
resources that are available to help you obtain MIT Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory publications.
An index of what's available on-line will be available by 9/30/93 so
that you will not have to download the large bibliography if you are
only interested in finding out what publications are currently
available on-line. Please read the section on the /bibliography
directory to understand how we splt up the file into separate
sections.
/AI-PUBLICATIONS
The /ai-publications directory contains files in compressed postscript
format only except for the /general-pubs subdirectory which contains
some ascii files in addition to the postscript versions of the same
files. All Artificial Intelligence Laboratory publications are
assigned a number beginning with either AIM- (for a memo) or AITR-
(for a technical report or thesis). If you know the number of the
publication you would like to download you may cd to the directory
within /ai-publications repesenting the year it was published and
download (`get') the compressed postscript file. Use a standard Unix
uncompress utility to uncompress the file(s).
Within the /ai-publications directory there is a subdirectory
containing documents of general interest called /general-pubs. This
directory includes:
labsummary
This is the 1992 - 1993 summary of the laboratory including number
of members, supporting grants, prizes, and awards and a paragraph
describing the research projects of each professor. This file is
available in either ascii or postscript format.

/BIBLIOGRAPHY
The /bibliography directory contains various Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory bibliographies in both compressed ascii and compressed
postscript format. They are split up into archived, current, and
update bibliographies because of their large size. Download these
files for a complete listing of all publications published at the
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The bibliographies provide author,
title, abstract, and publication number information.
Subdirectories of the /bibliographhy directory are:
/current-bib
The Current Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Publications
Bibliography - Spring 1993 (100 pages) lists abstracts from current AI
Lab memos, technical reports, and videos available through the lab as
well as books, journals and proceeding listings available outside of
the lab. Ordering and shipping procedures are also included. Files
are available in both ascii and postscript format.
/update
The Artifiical Intelligence Laboratory Publications Biblgiography
Update - Spring 1993 (20 pages) is a list of only the most recent
publications. These publications are also contained within the
Current Publications Bibliography and include abstracts of the memos
and technical reports produced within the past year. This list also
includes journal and proceeding citations available outside of the
lab. Files are available in both ascii and postscript format. Many of
the publications listed in this Bibliography Update are avialable
electronically in the /publications subdirectory.
/archived
The Archived Publications Bibliography (62 pages) is a listing of
archived publications spanning from 1959 to approximately 1988. Older
publications that are frequently requested are still available through
the Current Publications Bibliography. Once again, files are available
in ascii and postscript format. Ordering instructions are also
included.

ON-LINE TELNET SEARCH OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHY
If you would like to do and on-line search of the Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory's bibliography you may do so by telnetting to
reading-room.lcs.mit.edu. This will connect you to the MIT LCS/AI
Reading Room Catalog System which contains bibliographic citations
from the Laboratory of Computer Science and the Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory. To connect type:
> telnet reading-room.lcs.mit.edu
To search through the memos and technical reports type:
> collection tr
and search by number, author, or title. This is one way to find out
the number assigned to an Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
publication without downloading the large bibliographies.
