CLIPS 6.0

CLIPS, the C Language Integrated Production System, is a complete
environment for developing expert systems -- programs which are
specifically intended to model human expertise or knowledge. It is
designed to allow artificial intelligence research, development, and
delivery on conventional computers. CLIPS 6.0 provides a cohesive tool for
handling a wide variety of knowledge with support for three different
programming paradigms: rule-based, object-oriented, and procedural.
Rule-based programming allows knowledge to be represented as heuristics,
or "rules-of-thumb" which specify a set of actions to be performed for a
given situation. Object-oriented programming allows complex systems to be
modeled as modular components (which can be easily reused to model other
systems or create new components). The procedural programming capabilities
provided by CLIPS 6.0 allow CLIPS to represent knowledge in ways similar
to those allowed in languages such as C, Pascal, Ada, and LISP. Using
CLIPS 6.0, one can develop expert system software using only rule-based
programming, only object-oriented programming, only procedural
programming, or combinations of the three.

COSMIC offers four distribution versions of CLIPS 6.0: UNIX, VMS,
MACINTOSH, and IBM PC. Executable files, source code, utilities,
documentation, and examples are included on the program media.

CLIPS was developed in 1986 and Version 6.0 was released in 1993.
