Project : Theme One Program

Author: Jon Awbrey

If anybody is looking for a programming project, I will post here some data on the Theme One Program that I worked on all through the 1980s. The aim was to develop fundamental algorithms and data structures to support an integrated learning and reasoning interface. I wrote up a pilot version of the program well enough to get a Master's degree out of it, but still haven't gotten around to writing up the complete documentation. Below are some links to what I've put on the web so far.
