AI on the Web

An artificial intelligence resource listing containing links to information on intelligent agents; search and game playing; logic and knowledge representation; planning, reasoning and uncertainty; machine learning; natural language processing; perception and robotics; philosophy and the future; and AI programming.

AI Topics

AI Topics is a starting point for finding information on artificial intelligence. This AAAI site links to basic information along with news, education resources, reference materials (dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, and journals), courses, forums, and career information.

Bot Research Resources and Sites

This portal to resources on robots, intelligent agents, and macros is a Subject Trace Information Blog developed and maintained by Marcus Zillman. It is designed to provide access to current resources on the Internet. A Subject Tracer is a blog that uses bots to find, analyze, collect, and update information. The resources are alphabetically arranged; there are no annotations.

Cetus Links

Cetus Links is portal to several thousand Internet sites about object-orientation and component-orientation. It is divided into seven main areas: general information; distributed objects and components; Internet and intranets; architecture and design; languages and development environments; databases and repositories; and related topics. The main areas are further divided into subject pages. There is an overview page for each of the main area pages and an introductory statement on the individual subject pages. The individual subject pages contain a variety of links to resources like articles, bibliographies, books and publications, conferences and meetings, FAQs, forums, glossaries, libraries, newsgroups, organizations, people, software, standards, starting points, tools, tutorials, and utilities. Cetus Links is also fully searchable.
