One aspect of this thread concerns reasoning on limited-compute (i.e. mobile) platforms. I'd like to point out Pychinko, the Python-based reasoner (c.f. http://bit.ly/bPglu1 ), which was designed to run on mobile platforms such as Nokia phones where Java-based reasoners were considered too compute-intensive. Granted, given the current closed nature of Apple, we should probably be looking for Cocoa/Objective-C based reasoners... :P John On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 2:39 PM, Stuart A.
