This work was the result of cooperation between three researchers: a computer scientist (John Shaw) and two researchers from the humanities and social sciences (Herbert Simon and Allen Newell) [SIM 76]. The application was programmed using IPL language [STE 63], created within the RAND and the Carnegie Institute of Technology1 (a project that received funding from the US Air Force). Here we have the essential elements of AI research: a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together humanities and technology, a university investment and the presence of the military.
