Soar at the University of Southern California

The Soar project is a long-term, multi-disciplinary, multi-site attempt at building, understanding, and applying an integrated model of intelligent behavior that can serve both as a useful AI system and as a unified theory of human cognition. At the University of Southern California, the Soar project is joint between the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) and the Computer Science Department.
