[6-6] World-Wide Web (WWW) Resources
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a hypermedia document that spans the
Internet. It uses the http (HyperText Transfer Protocol) for the
light-weight exchange of files over the Internet. NCSA Mosaic is a
World Wide Web browser developed at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
Mosaic's popularity derives, in part, from its ability to communicate
using more traditional Internet protocols like FTP, Gopher, WAIS, and
NNTP, in addition to http. Mosaic can display text, hypertext links,
and inlined graphics directly. When Mosaic encounters a file type it
can't handle internally, such as Postscript documents, mpeg movies,
sound files, and JPEG images, it uses an external viewer (or player)
like Ghostscript to handle the file. Mosaic also includes facilities
for exploring the Internet. In other words, Mosaic is an multimedia
interface to the Internet.
The hypertext documents viewed with Mosaic are written in HTML
(HyperText Markup Language), which is a subset of SGML (Standard
Generalized Markup Language). All that is needed is just a few more
improvements, such as the ability to format tables and mathematics,
and a WYSIWYG editor, for HTML to greatly facilitate electronic
journals and other publications.
NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu:/Mosaic/
as source code and binaries for Sun, SGI, IBM RS/6000, DEC Alpha OSF/1, DEC
Ultrix, and HP-UX. Questions about NCSA Mosaic should be directed to
mosaic-x@ncsa.uiuc.edu (X-Windows version), mosaic-mac@ncsa.uiuc.edu
(Macintosh), and mosaic-win@ncsa.uiuc.edu (Microsoft Windows).
If you do not have a WWW client like Mosaic, you can search the WWW by
telnet to info.cern.ch. There is also an email interface; to use it,
send mail to listproc@www-0.cern.ch, and use lines like
www http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/AI/html/faqs/top.html
to retrieve the text of a particular URL (in this case, the AI FAQs page).
The remainder of this section lists WWW resources of interest to AI
researchers, students, and practitioners. Other URLs are scattered
throughout the FAQ. If the entry includes an email address, that is
the email address to which suggestions for additional links should be
sent.
AI-related FAQ Postings:
A simple HTML version of the AI FAQ (this FAQ) and several other
AI-related FAQs is available as
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/AI/html/faqs/top.html
or equivalently,
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/html/faqs/top.html
It is prepared automatically from the original once a week and
ftp sites, gopher, and other WWW references in the text are
automatically converted to http references.

Genetic Art and Movies:
Programs which use genetic algorithms to create art, inspired by the
work of Karl Sims at Thinking Machines. Votes from human users (folks
like you) are used to determine the "fitness" of the pictures in the
current generation. The more fit pictures are more likely to be used
in the creation of the next generation. After about a dozen or so
generations, really pretty pictures result.
