The INGRAM softbot project |
Ingram is different from many other similar projects in many ways. Ingram is designed to be small, efficient and distributed, so that eventually it can reside on the web as a java application. Dream on.
At the core of Ingram is a forward chaining planner Occam. Occam is novel in that it performs heuristic search on database objects. Occam is a joint work with Dan Weld, and recently we co-authored a paper on Occam that was accepted to appear in AAAI96.
