Soar for Mac8.6.1

Soar is a general cognitive architecture for developing systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. Researchers all over the world, both from the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, are using Soar for a variety of tasks. It has been in use since 1983, evolving through many different versions to where it is now.

We intend ultimately to enable the Soar architecture to:

• work on the full range of tasks expected of an intelligent agent, from highly routine to extremely difficult, open-ended problems
• represent and use appropriate forms of knowledge, such as procedural, declarative, episodic, and possibly iconic
• employ the full range of problem solving methods
• interact with the outside world, and
• learn about all aspects of the tasks and its performance on them.
