Glomus - An Undergraduate AI Course Project

Project Overview

The Glomus project is developing software that can be used to implement a course project for an undergraduate course in Artificial Intelligence. Glomus (a rough Latin translation of the word "clue") is a course project we have developed for teaching students the fundamental tasks of symbolic AI, specifically

knowledge representation,
reasoning, and
taking action

The Glomus system of software provides a compelling framework for developing agents that play a "whodunit" game similar to the boardgame Clue*. The Glomus software provides support for the development of intelligent agents, allowing students to focus on the fundamental tasks of symbolic AI without having to learn a complex agent framework, new programming language, or procure and maintain hardware.

The Glomus web site provides access to the Glomus software, curricular materials, and suggestions for integrating the project into an undergraduate AI course.
