Event Description
We're honored and delighted to have Tony Barr, creator of the SAS programming language and founder of Barr Systems here in Gainesville, making an intriguing presentation on his latest project, "A Model Of Reality".
"It is my belief that a better model for knowledge representation is to use
pictures to represent types, objects, and functions. The unification of set
theory, functions, and the type/ object model is a minimalistic formalism that
is sufficient for both type and object representation. It can be shown to be one
to one with the structure of languages such as C# and Pascal."
