KACTUS is an European ESPRIT-iii project aiming at the development
of a methodology for the reuse of knowledge about technical systems
during their life-cycle ( i.e. using the same knowledge base for
design, diagnosis, operation, maintenance, redesign, instruction, et
cetera). The way this will be achieved is by giving these knowledge
bases an explicit structure (often called an ontology). 9/30/95

Colorado State University's SavvySearch is a "Parallel Internet
Query Engine. Simply describe your information need in a Key Word
Query and let SavvySearch do the rest. SavvySearch will act as your
intelligent agent to contact multiple Internet Search Engines, gather
information from each source, then return the linked results."

- The
Metacrawler -- is a tool developed at the University of
Washington which allows you to search through multiple search crawlers
at once. It works by querying a number of existing, free search
engines, organizes the results into a uniform format, and displays
them. 9/30/95

- TACOMA This
project at the University of Tromsø, Norway and Cornell focuses on
operating system support for agents and how agents can be used to
solve problems traditionally addressed by operating systems. We have
implemented prototype systems to support agents using UNIX and using
Tcl/Tk on top of Horus. (They take an agent to be a process that may
migrate through a computer network in order to satisfy requests made
by clients.)9/14/95

Analytics "develops and offers learning agent software that makes
personal computing "easy to do" instead of just "easy to use." A
pioneer in hybrid neural and knowledge-based systems, Charles River
Analytics is leading a technological revolution that will radically
change the way we use computers, with software that assists the user."

Sesame! "... a learning agent ... observes your activities and
learns which tasks you repeat again and again. Then it performs those
repetitive tasks for you--automatically. Open Sesame! even automates
crucial maintenance tasks that you can easily forget, like rebuilding
your desktop. 9/7/95

Robots Conscious of their Mental States, John McCarthy, Stanford
University. "In AI, consciousness of self consists in a program
having certain kinds of facts about its own mental processes and state
of mind. We discuss what consciousness of its own mental structures a
robot will need in order to operate in the common sense world and
accomplish the tasks humans will give it. It's quite a lot. ..."
