:: ACT-R/SOS ::
:: A Simple Object System for ACT-R ::

:: Project description

• The Simple Object System for ACT-R (ACT-R/SOS) is a Common LISP library for developing ACT-R simulations. ACT-R/SOS provides simple means to define external objects with which ACT-R can interact. ACT-R/SOS requires the ACT-R software which is included with ACT-R/SOS. ACT-R is an artificial intelligence program implementing a theory for simulating and understanding human cognition. The focus of ACT-R/SOS is on low-fidelity simulations in complement to other approaches focusing on high-fidelity simulations such as ACT-R/PM. The major technical problems related to this project amounts to implementing low-fidelity simulations of desktop and multimedia applications for the purpose of developing cognitive models of human-computer interactions. The current version of ACTR/SOS is fully functional and supports the definition of objects and interaction with ACT-R through its buffer system.
