Introduction:

Certain questions and topics come up frequently in the various network
discussion groups devoted to and related to Artificial Intelligence
(AI).  This file/article is an attempt to gather these questions and
their answers into a convenient reference for AI researchers. It is
posted on a monthly basis. The hope is that this will cut down on the
user time and network bandwidth used to post, read and respond to the
same questions over and over, as well as providing education by
answering questions some readers may not even have thought to ask.

The latest version of this file is available via anonymous FTP from CMU:

   To obtain the file from CMU, connect by anonymous ftp to any CMU CS
   machine (e.g., ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173]), using username
   "anonymous" and password "name@host". The files ai-faq-1.text,
   ai-faq-2.text and ai-faq-3.text are located in the directory
       /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mkant/Public/AI/
   [Note: You must cd to this directory in one atomic operation, as
   some of the superior directories on the path are protected from
   access by anonymous ftp.] If your site runs the Andrew File System,
   you can just cp the file directly without bothering with FTP.

Subject: [1-0] What is the purpose of this newsgroup?

The newsgroup comp.ai exists for general discussion of topics related
to Artificial Intelligence. For example, possible topics can
include (but are not necessarily limited to):
   announcements of AI books and products
   discussion of AI programs and tools
   questions about AI techniques
   problems implementing an AI technique
Postings should be of general interest to the AI community. See also
question [1-2].

We've tried to minimize the overlap with the FAQ postings to the
comp.lang.lisp, comp.lang.prolog and comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroups,
so if you don't find what you're looking for here, we suggest you try
the FAQs for those newsgroups. These FAQs should be available by
anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu (18.172.1.27) in subdirectories of
/pub/usenet/ or by sending a mail message to [e-mail]
with subject "help".

The Lisp FAQ is also available by anonymous ftp from the same ftp
location as the AI FAQ and from ftp.think.com:/public/think/lisp/.

Information about Prolog may be obtained from two sources: The Prolog
FAQ, which is posted twice a month to the newsgroup comp.lang.prolog
by Jamie Andrews <[e-mail]>, and the Prolog Resource Guide,
which is posted to the newsgroup comp.lang.prolog once a month, and is
available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173] as the
file /afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/mkant/Public/AI/prolog-resource-guide.txt.

The Robotics FAQ is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.cmu.edu
[128.2.206.173] in the directory /user/nivek/robotics-faq as the files
part1 and part2. To obtain a copy by email, send a message to
[e-mail] containing the following lines:
   send usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/part1
   send usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/part2
On UUCP, it is available at
   uunet!/archive/usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/
as the files part1.Z and part2.Z (or by ftp from ftp.uu.net
[137.39.1.9] in /archive/usenet/news.answers/robotics-faq/).
