- Jeff Shrager will give a talk on reviving early AI programs like ELIZA and IPL-V. His talk's title is *RetroAI: Reanimating the Earliest AIs in the Lost Languages that Predated Lisp*.

An article detailing the history of LISP machines and the SCHEME-78 microprocessor, designed to closely match the LISP language, developed by Guy L. Steele and Gerald Jay Sussman. It discusses the motivations behind creating dedicated LISP hardware, its eventual decline, and its relevance to modern AI hardware.
This GitHub repository contains a re-implementation of the IPL-V programming language and the Logic Theorist (LT) program. It includes the original code transcribed into a TSV format and converted to Lisp, along with documentation and debugging tools.

A command structure for complex information processing1
J. C. Shaw / A. Newell / H. A. Simon / T. O. Ellis
The general-purpose digital computer, by virtue of its large capacity and general-purpose nature, has opened the possibility of research into the nature of complex mechanisms per se. The challenge is obvious: humans carry out information processing of a complexity that is truly baffling. Given the urge to understand either how humans do it, or alternatively, what kinds of mechanisms might accomplish the same tasks, the computer is turned to as a basic research tool. The varieties of complex information processing will be understood when they can be synthesized: when mechanisms can be created that perform the same processes.
