Continuing to do a lot of historical review of early AI stuff. Just finished the Semantic Information Processing[1] book edited by Marvin Minsky, and now I'm reading Volume 1 of the Parallel Distributed Processing[2 book by Rumelhart and McClelland. After that, I have Principles of Semantic Networks[3] by John F. Sowa queued up.

Along with all of that, still working on a lot of stuff using Jason[4] / AgentSpeak[5]. I created a fork[6] of Jason that is meant to be easier to integrate with Spring Boot, and to take more of a "run headless on a server" approach, which meant taking out references to a Swing based in-process logging/management tool. In place of that, I'm implementing a JMX based management interface, and recently I've started to work on replacing the old Swing app with a JavaFX app that can connect using JMX Remoting.

I love this! If you want to do a short book club or do a review after each book, I'm very down!

		It's funny you say that. I already do run a weekly "book club" group, but it's at work at my $dayjob employer. And, for various reasons, we've drifted away from the book focus and turned into a more presentation/discussion oriented group. But I still love to read physical books, and wouldn't be opposed to trying to come up with something to structure some discussion around some of these "outside of work" readings that I do. If you want, drop me and email (prhodes@fogbeam.com) and maybe we can set something up.

I miss Minsky. Loved his books!
