ICA-CP: 12/2/08 - Eliza

Good morning!

It's good to be back!!! Today, we are starting something new - Eliza. Eliza was one of the first artificial intelligence programs written. You have video games today because Eliza was written. For more info on Eliza, see this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

I want you to evaluate the Eliza program. You may work in teams of two. Use SEXI to explain what Eliza is, and also list what you like and what you would change in the program. Also, do the activities and answer the questions in Part I of the lab at this web site:

Here is the location of Eliza on the Internet to use:
