The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab. An important site in
|

|
|
the early development of LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC,
|
|||
|
|
and the Unix community, one of the major wellsprings of technical
|
|||
|
|
innovation and hacker-culture traditions (see the
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../W/WAITS.html"><i class="glossterm">WAITS</i></a> entry for details). The SAIL machines were
|
|||
|
|
shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks after the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster
|

|
|
was officially decommissioned. </p></dd><dd><p> 2. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language used at SAIL (sense

1). It was an Algol-60 derivative with a coroutining facility and some new

data types intended for building search trees and association lists.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="sagan.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../S.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="salescritter.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">sagan<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>salescritter</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
