Assignment 3
CSE 415: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
The University of Washington, Seattle, Winter 2003
The reading for this assignment is Chapter 6 in The Elements of Artificial Intelligence Using Common Lisp. Complete the reading by Monday, February 10.
Part A. Do exercises 1 and 9 through 15 on pages 326-327. Turn these in as hardcopy on Wednesday, February 12 in class.
 
Part B. First do exercise 10 on page 195. Next, choose a subject area such as botany, marine biology, etc. It's important that there be a well-developed hierarchy of classes of items within that field. With facts from your chosen subject, generate an ISA hierarchy with at least 8 links in it, and the depth should be at least 3 (there should be at least one path of length 3). Demonstrate your SMARTY program using this hierarchy. Include at least one example of each new feature in your demo. Implement your agent in a file named MYLINNEUS.CL, and produce a separate file of documentation: MYLINNEUS.TXT. Use these file names exactly as given. You will be turning them in using an automated system that will look for files with these names.

Part B is due Wednesday, February 19 at midnight. Use electronic turn-in over the web at the following URL: turn-in page.
