Clarissa, a voice-enabled procedure browser developed at NASA Ames, was successfully tested for the first time today by astronaut John Phillips on the International Space Station. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever use of a spoken dialogue system in space. During the test, Phillips completed the interactive Clarissa training procedure, which exercises all the main system functionality.
Speech recognition and dialogue management apparently functioned well. All the data has been logged, and we will present a more complete report soon when we have had time to analyze it.

Der in diesem Artikel erwähnte David Searls hat schon 1988 gezeigt, daß man mit Prologgrammatiken (Definite Clause Grammars, DCG) die Struktur des genetisches Codes beschreiben kann. Dazu gibt es auch einige Beispiele in der Übung.

- Where do the ideas from Erlang come from?
- Most of the concepts in Erlang have been taken from the modern programming languages that have proven to be good. The languages Prolog, Strand, Parlog and Eri-Pascal have had an especially high influence. [FAQ]
