Subject: gardening systems
I would like to know whether anyone knows about a computer program that
could help me with my gardening. I'm interested in all kinds of computer
programs either for indoor or outdoor running on any personal computer.
Does anyone have experience in using a computer to plan her/his gardening and
diagnose deseases of the plants? I know there are many knowledge based systems
for many different domains. Does anyone know a similar application for
gardening?
I appreciate any response and discussion on this question. Thanks, Parvis.

Mr. Nanlin has implemented the Michalski-Stepp Conceptual Clustering
Algorithm in Common Lisp on a TI-Explorer. It has been tested out on the
following examples in the literature:
The microcomputer exmaple, Figure 8 [1]
The figure example, Figure 6 [2`
He needs answers to the following two questions:
Does anyone have any more extensive test data for it.
Does anyone know how to generate artificial test data of arbitrary size
for this algorithm.

I don't know about gardening, but there was a project over here about three
years ago in the domain of crop disease diagnosis, which might give you some
useful pointers. It was a collaboration between ICI (Imperial Chemical
Industries, who make grungy chemicals for killing bugs) and a small (then,
at least) software house called, I think, ISI. ISI produced a fairly
standard es-shell for the project called _Savoir_. [If you think this is a
long prelude, you're right - I can't remember the name of the project :-( ]
There was a paper on it at one of the _Expert Systems '8n_ conferences held
by the BCS (where member( n, [5, 6, 7] ))
Apologies for the fallible memory...

You are welcome - sorry it's a rather broad-band response.

a while ago, people mentioned the existence of discussion lists on math and
science. can you point me to the email adresses of the above?
Thanks, Thanasis
