Short: Decision Support Knowledge Based System Builder
Author: Andrew@basden.demon.co.uk
Uploader: Andrew@basden.demon.co.uk
Version: 1.041
Type: biz/misc
ISTAR
Istar is a knowledge based system builder that allows you to construct
inference nets, bayesian nets and semantic nets. It has a particularly
nice user interface, with a smoothness that only Amiga hardware can give.
So it is useful for decision support, to help you clarify complex ideas.
You build your knowledge base by drawing boxes and arrows, and then
can run the KB direct. See Docs/Intro to get going.
See the following Web pages:

ISTAR NEWS
As bugs are discovered, as tips are suggested, and as better
documentation is written, etc., - things that do not involve
a new version of Istar - they will be put on Aminet as they arrive,
under the name Istarnews. So Istarnews should appear in the RECENT
list more frequently than versions of Istar.
COPYRIGHT
Istar, all versions, are copyright (C) Andrew Basden, University
of Salford, Salford, M5 4WT, U.K. Andrew@basden.demon.co.uk.
The version with this file can be used freely as long as all copies
of it include the name 'Istar' in their file names whereever they
are stored and as long as this file and copyright notice is
kept with the file.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Known to work on Amiga 1200. Also on 4000 but see 'Limitations and
Bugs' file. Probably will work on AmigaDos 2.0 upwards, but needs
2 Mb of memory to run. Will run on basic 1200 as long as your Workbench
screen is no bigger than 640x256 4 colours.
Fonts used:
Courier
Garnet
Topaz
Libs used:
iff.library (but can work without it)
It works best if you assign KBTools: to the directory where you keep
your knowledge bases, and IstarSys: to a directory where various system
files are kept. At present, the only file sought in IstarSys is IstarPrefs.
Otherwise just starts as Sys: root.
FILES INCLUDED:
Istar Main program.
Other files are documentation. Read Intro first and it explains the
other files.
DISCLAIMER:
Istar is supplied as-is.
Istar is still under development. Some of its buttons do not work
because they are not attached to anything yet. Some of its more
exotic data transofrmations do not yet work.
Let me know what you think of it, by mailing me at Istar@basden.demon.co.uk
