Downloading and Installing Algernon 3.0

If you made it to this point, you must be interested in downloading and installing the Algernon source files. The following files contain the Algernon LISP source and the Java source for the Algernon gui. The gui is moderately useful, but not necessary in order to run Algernon.

Algernon LISP source

The Algernon distribution contains three software modules. SFS is the Simple Frame System which forms the core of the Algernon representation. GFP partially implements a Generic Frame Protocol interface to the SFS. Finally, AAM is the Algernon Abstract Machine.


Algernon GUI

Algernon has a simple GUI written in Java. It is useful for browsing the knowledge base. The GUI is called Amaze and is written in Java 1.0.2. You may not want to bother trying to use this software.

Algernon web pages

The final archive is the set of Algernon web pages, including this one.


The Simple Frame System

Algernon has a separate knowledge representation model called the Simple Frame System (SFS). SFS is a basic frame-slot-value-facet representation system that is independent of Algernon.
