Tests of Machine Intelligence -

Although the definition and measurement of
intelligence is clearly of fundamental
importance to the field of artificial
intelligence, no general survey of
definitions and tests of machine
intelligence exists. Indeed few researchers
are even aware of alternatives to the Turing
test and its many derivatives. In this paper
we fill this gap by providing a short survey
of the many tests of machine intelligence
that have been proposed.

ØMQ (also seen as ZeroMQ, 0MQ, zmq) looks like an embeddable
networking library but acts like a concurrency framework. It gives
you sockets that carry atomic messages across various transports
like in-process, inter-process, TCP, and multicast. You can connect
sockets N-to-N with patterns like fanout, pub-sub, task
distribution, and request-reply. It's fast enough to be the fabric
for clustered products. Its asynchronous I/O model gives you
scalable multicore applications, built as asynchronous
message-processing tasks. It has a score of language APIs and runs
on most operating systems. ØMQ is from iMatix and is LGPLv3 open
source. (ØMQ - The Guide)

OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a
scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to
make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce
applications utilising hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. The
class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying
system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an
interface based on world objects and other intuitive classes.

inih (INI Not Invented Here) is a simple .INI file parser
written in C. It's only a couple of pages of code, and it was
designed to be small and simple, so it's good for embedded
systems.

This is a simple header file that provides a handful of
functions to obtain paths to configuration files, regardless of
the operating system the application is running under.
It requires no dependencies beyond each platform's standard API.

Sglib is a library defining useful macros for manipulating
common data structures. The library currently provides
generic implementation for:
sorting arrays,
manipulating linked lists,
manipulating sorted linked lists,
manipulating double linked lists,
manipulating red-black trees,
manipulating hashed containers.

Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command
line options with a minimum of fuss. It enables a program's
command line syntax to be defined in the source code as an
array of argtable structs.

The Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing,
comprises a set of learning algorithms that were first
described in a
white paper
published by Numenta in 2009.
The learning algorithms faithfully capture how layers
of neurons in the neocortex learn. The white paper
has been translated into seven languages by volunteers
and has generated considerable interest among developers
and research scientists. GitHub project

The year-2038 bug is similar to the Y2K bug in that it involves a time-wrap
problem not handled by programmers. In the case of Y2K, many older machines did
not store the century digits of dates, hence the year 2000 and the year 1900
would appear the same.

Kyoto Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The database is
a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value.
Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length. Both binary data and
character string can be used as a key and a value. Each key must be unique
within a database. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types.
Records are organized in hash table or B+ tree.

The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a flexible framework for writing
robot software. It is a collection of tools, libraries, and conventions
that aim to simplify the task of creating complex and robust robot
behavior across a wide variety of robotic platforms.
