You are probably aware of POPLOG. It is a software environment
running on many UNIX and VMS machines. If you would like to see
POPLOG in action then come to the POPLOG Users' Forum conference
at Reading University, Berkshire, England this July 19 and 20.
Day attendance costs ten pounds, accommodation twenty pounds and
an evening "banquet" ten pounds. So the conference is a very cost
effective way of getting information about a very effective
software environment. If you would like more details then please
mail me.
Here are some of the things that POPLOG provides.
1) Full on-line documentation. Includes teaching material,
help files, reference files and system documentation. The
teaching material covers basic programming techniques and
AI subjects such as linguistics and vision.
2) The incrementally compiled languages: POP11, PROLOG and
COMMON LISP. Object oriented programming is also
supported. ML comes as an optional extra.
3) A visual editor which is:
a) Sensitive to the languages' syntax, to aid editing.
b) Interfaced to the incremental compilers and
de-bugging tools, to aid program development.
c) Interfaced to the UNIX/VMS command line interpreters to
allow system administration from within the POPLOG
environment.
4) A generic, networked window interface which is supported
by the host machines' window mechanism. X-11 coming soon.
5) Coming soon - a compiler to produce "turn-key"
applications code.
... and lots, lots more.
Why not come to the conference and give POPLOG a try?

Computer graphics isn't the same as computer vision.
