Subject: Borning's constraint languages

The book ``Constraint programming languages'' by Wm. Leler (Addison Wesley, 
1988) contains a great deal about constraint languages and their 
creation.

He has an extensive bibliography, including references to a number of 
papers by Borning.

You might also try the Science Citation Index (I think that's what it is
called).  The SCI is a wonderful tool for ``finding out more about something
you find described in a paper''.  It is a reverse bibliography -- that is,
you look up ``Thinglab'', by Alan Borning, and it shows you all the papers
that have CITED it in THEIR bibliographies.  

A great way to start exploring a field.  Not a bad way to find out about
new fields and surprising new connections among different fields.

It's nice to see a news group appear that's dedicated to simulation.

RAND is developing lisp- and prolog-based object oriented simulation
languages (ROSS, ERNIE, and random other stuff) for mainframes, work
stations, and PCs.  We are also formulating models (tactical combat
models, logistics models, etc.) using these tools.

Be nice to know who else is listening into this news group, what
kinds of tools they're using, and what sort of modeling they're doing.
I would be interested in swapping the usual stories about the speed
and capacity of modeling languages, modeling tricks, etc.
