Global News LinksPeople ask, 'What do people do with Artificial Intelligence?', 'What can I use your LPA software for?', 'Does you Prolog deliver scalable and reliable applications - tell me about some actual commercial applications are out there which use your Prolog'.This page provides some links to various websites around the globe, which feature products, applications and research implemented using LPA's software products. Check on the links below to visit the sites of these applications and solutions, developed using software from LPA. In amny cases, you can even download and try out the applications.
Microsoft, Cisco and Amazon Generate Contracts with DealBuilderBusiness Integrity Ltd was co-founded by LPA to help exploit some smart technology developed at LPA. BIL is now a world leader in document assembly. ContractExpress DealBuilder is an enterprise class document assembly platform optimized for the efficient creation of legal documents from automated templates. Capable of scaling from simple forms and letters to the most complex legal documents with the certainty of accurate and efficient results it is proven to meet the exacting needs of Corporate law departments and law firms. ContractExpress DealBuilder, much of which is written using LPA software, is significantly more powerful and reliable than any other products on the market. Many leading law firms and top IT companies have adopted DealBuilder, including Linklaters, Lovells, Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Cisco and Cadence. Find out more about ContractExpress DealBuilder, which is based on WIN-PROLOG and ProWeb technology, here!Microsoft, the world's largest software company, uses DealBuilder to manage and generate its End User License Agreements (EULAs) worldwide.

WSGR Term Sheet GeneratorOne of BIL's customers, Wilson Sonsini, have recently released the WSGR Term Sheet Generator. The WSGR TSG tool will generate a venture financing term sheet based on responses to an online questionnaire. It also has an informational component, with basic tutorials and annotations on financing terms. This term sheet generator is a modified version of a tool that WSGR use internally, which comprises one part of a suite of document automation tools that are used to generate start-up and venture financing-related documents. The WSGR TSG uses DealBuilder Author and Server - both use LPA Prolog - at automation time, and at run time. You can even try out TSG yourself and see a real world application of AI working. here!WSGR TSG has received a lot of very positive feedback. You can read some from the Wall Street Journal entiled "Wilson’s Little Gift to the World" here!
InFlow Provides Insight into Social NetworksValdis Krebs at OrgNet has developed InFlow, a leading Social Network Analysis [SNA] software tool completely implemented in LPA WIN-PROLOG. SNA is a mathematical method for 'connecting the dots' and allows us to model, map and measure complex, and sometimes covert, human groups and organizations. SNA has recently gained prominence in both business and intelligence circles due to its ability to yield insight into the way people in disparate organizations interact. Find out more here!The use of InFlow in counter-intelligence continues to expand; for some more insights into the applications of this fascinating piece of software, check out the fascinating "Connecting the Dots", here!
Transmission Network Analysis to Complement Routine Tuberculosis Contact InvestigationsIn the paper, the authors examine the feasibility and value of network analysis to complement routine tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation procedures during an outbreak. They reviewed hospital, health department, and jail records and interviewed TB patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were genotyped. They evaluated contacts of TB patients for latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB, and analyzed routine contact investigation data, including tuberculin skin test (TST) results. Outcomes included number of contacts identified, number of contacts evaluated, and their TST status. They then used network analysis visualizations and metrics (reach, degree, betweenness) to characterize the outbreak. Read the article here!
Social Capital: the Key to Success for the 21st Century Organization"In the 20th century, the human resources (HR) function became quite adept at managing human capital – defined as the skills, knowledge and experience of individual employees within the firm. Just as HR was gaining competencies in this arena, the new economy came along and moved the goal posts. It is no longer sufficient to manage individual assets. The HR professional of the 21st century must manage inter-connected assets1 of the firm!" Read the article here!

Cassandra aids Software EngineersCassandra is a research platform developed by KnowGravity Inc. in Zurich, Switzerland. It is assistant-based and guides the users through their tasks in business, systems and software engineering. It analyses project data from many familiar UML®-based CASE tools, generates the appropriate questions or proposes the next steps in order to move the process forward. Cassandra's anatomy can be compared to the architecture of an operating system that provides basic services to various applications (Cassandra's Application Agents) and offers interfaces for various stores (Cassandra's Interface Agents). Cassandra is 100% implemented in WIN-PROLOG; find out more here!You can download a detailed technical appraisal of Cassandra from here.
LomaLoma is a web based expert-early warning-system that analyses common landfill operational problems, faults and accidents. In addition, Loma provides advice on how a landfill manager can prevent these problems, and in case of occurrence, on how to lessen the impact of their consequences. You can find our more by reading the article "Fault tree analysis and fuzzy expert systems: Early warning and emergency response of landfill operations" here!
NedsNED-2 is a Windows-based system designed to improve project-level planning and decision making by providing useful and scientifically sound information to natural resource managers. Resources currently addressed include visual quality, ecology, forest health, timber, water, and wildlife. ED-2 implements a goal-driven decision process that ensures that all relevant goals are considered; the character and current condition of forestland are known; alternatives to manage the land are designed and tested; the future forest under each alternative is simulated; and the alternative selected achieves the owner's goals.

AKT5The Agroecological Knowledge toolkit (AKT5) software is developed by the University of Wales, Bangor, in conjunction with the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Edinburgh University. The AKT5 system is primarily concerned with gathering local ecological knowledge (LEK). Local ecological knowledge refers to what people know about their natural environment, based primarily on their own experience and observation. It allows representation of knowledge elicited from farmers and scientists or knowledge abstracted from written material. Find our more here!AKT5 is being widely used by farmers in Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda, Lesotho, South Africa, as well as Latin America and Asia. Find our more here!
ProtoThinkerProtoThinker is an innovative computer program designed to stimulate thinking about thinking. It contains a simple model of an exceedingly complex object - the human mind. Through conversational interaction with an 'artificial' mind, the user explores the capabilities of real minds. There is far more to the program than could possibly be explained in these web pages, so we encourage you to explore the program on your own (you can download a version of the program from the PT web-site) and to discover the various ways that people are using PT - as the language and logic center of our artificial persons (like "Iris") and to help raise questions about the nature of the human mind.

IDEAprocessor is designed to assist members of a group to capture, visualize, organize and share their ideas and knowledge. It is specially designed to help with the tacit knowledge, knowledge interiorized by experts. Find our more here!
Stress Gene AnalysisThe rapid development of the National DNA Database unit within the FSS made them aware of the need for detailed examination of the process flows required to ensure that samples are analyzed correctly, results interpreted and, when necessary, samples re-analyzed. Stress (STR expert system suite) is a Windows and Macintosh-based program that accepts raw data from GenoTyper or GeneScan Analysis, generates a file of allele designations and then compares this to one generated by human operators.
