(1970-07-01)
Micro-Planner is an implementation of a subset of Cal Hewitt's language, PLANNER by Gerald Jay Sussman, Terry Winograd, and Eugene Charniak on the AI group computer in LISP. Micro-Planner is now a publically accessible ...
Comparative Schematology
(1970-11-01)
While we may have the intuitive idea of one programming language having greater power than another, or of some subset of a language being an adequate 'core' for that language, we find when we try to formalize this notion ...
The Function of FUNCTION in LISP, or Why the FUNARG Problem Should be Called the Environment Problem
(1970-06-01)
A problem common to many powerful programming languages arises when one has to determine what values to assign to free variables in functions. Different implementational approaches which attempt to solve the problem are ...
Removing Shadows in a Scene
(1970-08-01)
This paper describes a LISP function, ERASER, to be used in the process of recognizing objects by a computer. It is a pre-processor to a program called SEE which finds whole bodies in a scene. A short description of SEE ...
Cellular Automata

More Comparative Schematology
(1970-08-01)
Schemas are programs in which some of the function symbols are un-interpreted. In this paper we compare classed of schemas in which various kinds of constraints are imposed on some of the function symbols. Among the classes ...

This is intended as brief explanation of how to use the Kodak movie camera in sync with a display.
Computer Recognition of Prismatic Solids
(1970-08-01)
An investigation is made into the problem of constructing a model of the appearance to an optical input device of scenes consisting of plane-faced geometric solids. The goal is to study algorithms which find the real ...
