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 Aritifical 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

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.
