Sobre el uso de Logo en inteligencia artificial

Abstract

SINCE THE LOGO LANGUAGE WAS DERIVED FROM LISP, THE CLASSICAL LANGUAGE OF AR TI FICIAL IN TEL LI GENCE, LOGO, INSPITE OF ITS REPUTATION AS A LANGUAGE FOR CHILDREN, IS ADEQUATE FOR WRITING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAMS. THE PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE IS TO ESTABLISH THIS FACT. IN STEAD OF DOING IT BY EXHIBITING A REAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROJECT IMPLEMENTED IN LOGO, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A LONG PAPER, WE CHOOSE TO SELECT FROM THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LITERATURE A PAIR OF SHORT EXAMPLES IMPLEMENTED IN LISP, TRANSCRIBE THEM TO LOGO, AND COMPARE THE PROGRAMS IN BOTH LANGUAGES. IT IS HOPED THAT THIS WILL HIGH LIGHT THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN LOGO AND LISP. DUE TO THE GREAT VARIETY OF AVAIBLE LISP VERSIONS, AND TO THE FACT THAT MANY VERSIONS HAVE IMPLEMENTED CHARACTERISTICAS FOREIGN TO THE ORIGIN AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE LANGUAJE, A "PURE" VERSION OF LISP HAS BEEN SELECTED TO CARRY OUT THE COMPARISON.
