- Here is my list of Franz Lisp applications. Enough people
- requested copies that I am sending it to all franz-friends.
- If anyone sees any notable omissions, please send me a
- message and I will augment the list.

- Schenley Park, Pittsburgh PA 15213. (412) 578-2592
-
- + Flavors
- An object oriented extension of Lisp, developed at MIT and
- the University of Maryland. Used on the Symbolics Lisp
- machines. Available from Franz Inc. at no charge to pur-
- chasers of Franz Lisp.
-
- + DUCK
- DUCK is an expert systems development environment.

-
- + Boyer-Moore Theorem Prover
- Available from Prof. Robert Boyer, University of Texas, Aus-
- tin. Computer Science Department, 3-28 Painter Hall,
- University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712. (512) 471-7316
-
- + GLISP
- GLISP is a high-level language which is based on Lisp and is
- compiled into Lisp. It was developed at the University of
- Texas at Austin by Prof. Gordon Novak. Object-centered pro-
- gramming is supported. Message interpretations can be
- looked up at compile time to produce efficient code. A
- window-based editor, GEV, is available to inspect and edit
- data according to its data structure description. GLISP is
- available from Franz Inc. at no charge to purchasers of
- Franz Lisp, or from the University of Texas at Austin, Prof.
- Gordon Novak, Computer Science Department, 3-28 Painter
- Hall, University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712. (512) 471-
- 7316
-
- + FRL
- A frame representation language for AI development.
-
- Available from Steven Rosenberg, Hewlett Packard (415) 857
- 5902
-
- + MRS
- A logic based knowledge representation system. Available
- from Stanford University.
-
- Attention: Pattie McCabe SUMEX Computing Facility, Stanford
- University Medical Center, Room TB105, Stanford, California
- 94305, (415) 497-5141
-
- + Macsyma
- Developed at MIT, Macsyma is a program that carries out sym-
- bolic computation. It will solve all those integrals you
- learned about in your calculus class, as well as systems of
- differential equations and other mathematical problems.
-
- + Reduce
- Reduce is similar to Macsyma. It was developed at the
- University of Utah. Computer Science Department, 3160 Mer-
- rill Engineering Bldg. Salt Lake City, Utah 84112. (801)
- 484-7651 Ext 205
-
- + XCON
- Digital Equipment's famous expert system, written in OPS-5,
- originally ran on top of Franz Lisp. XCON configures com-
- puters before shipment.
-
- + ACE
- Automatic Cable Expertise : A knowledge based expert system
- that provides trouble-shooting and diagnostic reports for
- telephone company managers. Developed by Stolfo, Vesonder
- and others at AT&T Bell Labs. For details see "The Fifth
- Generation Challenge" Proceedings ACM '84 Annual Conference.
-
- + Slang
- A circuit design and analysis tool. It has been used to
- design several integrated circuits at U.C. Berkeley. A
- detailed description is in the masters thesis of Korbin Van
- Dyke at U.C. Berkeley.
-
- Available from: Industrial Liason Program, EECS Department,
- University of California, Berkeley CA 94720 (415) 642-0253
-
- + Lyra
- A VLSI design rule checker. A description is in the masters
- thesis of Michael Arnold at U.C. Berkeley.
-
- + Pearl
- A database and AI representation language written in Franz
- Lisp. Available from Franz Inc. at no charge to purchasers
- of Franz Lisp.
-
- + YAPS
- Yet Another Production System. Developed by Liz Allen at
- the University of Maryland. A forward driven production
- rule system similar to OPS-5, but with added flexibility.
- YAPS supports objects in facts, and defines an object that
- is a complete production system, so you can have more than
- one expert around at a time. See "YAPS: A Production System
- Meets Object" by Liz Allen in AAAI-83 for more information.
- YAPS is available at nominal cost from the Universtiy of
- Maryland. The license fee is $100 for BSD 4.1, $250 for
- 4.2. It's also Arpanet FTP'able for $100 for either ver-
- sion. Contact Bob Bane on Arpanet at bane@maryland or on
- Usenet at ...seismo!umcp-cs!bane or contact Liz Allen at
- liz@tove.arpa or seismo!umcp-cs!liz .
-
- + GENIE
- GENeric Inference Engine. An expert system development
- tool. Written by John Dumer, Tim Hanratty, Paul Tanenbaum,
- and Fred S. Brundick. For more information contact: Fred S.
- Brundick,
-
- + The Berkeley UNIX Consultant
- An expert System incorporating a natural language interface
- which answers questions about UNIX. Under development at
- U.C. Berkeley. USABRL, APG, MD. <fsbrn@brl-voc>
-
- + ROSS and SWIRL
- ROSS is an object-oriented language developed for building
- knowledge based simulations. SWIRL is a program written in
- ROSS that embeds knowledge about defensive and offensive air
- battle strategies. Developed by Narain, McArthur and Klahr
- at The Rand Corporation, 1700 Main Street, Santa Monica CA
- 90406. These systems were implemented in various LISP
- environments including Franz LISP. A comparison of hte
- various environments in terms of CPU usage, real-time usage
- and user aids can be found in an article by the above in the
- proceedings of the 1983 International Joint Conference on
- Artificial Intelligence, Karlsruhe, W. Germany.
