Technical Notes
BKD is implemented in Common
Lisp and CLOS, following the ANSI (CLtL2) standard. The MS Windows
95/NT release was developed under Harlequin LispWorks for MS Windows
95/NT version 4.0.1. The Unix release was developed under Harlequin
LispWorks for Unix version 3.5. The Apple Macintosh release was developed
under Macintosh Common Lisp version 4.0. Following the CLtL2
standard, BKD was mostly written between 10pm and 3am.
Credits
BKD was conceived by Marco
Ramoni and Paola Sebastiani, and designed and implemented by Marco
Ramoni at the Knowledge Media Institute of The Open University. The
BKD project is supported by the INSTILL programme of The Open University
and by equipment grants from Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems.
The development of BKD, its theory and its implementation, benefited from
the help, coming under different forms, of several people: Paul Cohen,
Trevor Collins, Greg Cooper, Marcus Daniels, John Domingue, Marc
Eisenstadt, David Hand, Greg Mann, Simon Masterton, Alberto Riva,
Paul Snow, and Zdenek Zdrahal. The contributions of the
participants to our seminars at City University, University of Durham,
Open University, Royal Holloway, University of London and University
of Warwick were extremely valuable. The support of our colleagues
was invaluable.
