ACT-R linking to OLE/COM/ActiveX

[Frank E. Ritter]

When I think about this I don't know enough about ms products to work with
them, but it seems like hard work.  So I think about getting a browser that
I can get the source code for and can then develop in it's language a model
eye and hand to move around it's screen/data structures.  Tcl/Tk, and Emacs
Lisp both have, I believe, a web browser written in that language.

We have a paper about developing model eyes and hands for cognitive models
(actr and soar) that is now in press that I could send you that supports
this view.

cheers,

Frank
