Subject: [ACT-R-users] ACT-R software information
Message-ID: <CAP9Jxmh-sHFbCvKkRa2J+eM+=ZHw7m8YwCJozwVEHq9K2sUU1A@mail.gmail.com>

 There will not be a new version of the ACT-R software released this year
or early next year.

The current version of the macOS standalone has been tested in Sequoia and
everything seems to be working fine.  The only difference is that running
the install script after ctrl-clicking and then picking open isn't an
option anymore.  All you can do after opening it that way is press done or
trash it.  To actually run it you have to go to the security settings and
then press the "Open Anyway" button after pressing the done button.  I've
put a new install video on the software page to show that.

If you have any problems installing or running it with Sequoia please let
me know.

Dan

Michel,

My PhD work was in an extension to a python implementation of actr in
robotics simulator (Morse). There was a (limited) embodied humanoid robot
and some vague work on extending actr to more advanced motor execution. Of
particular interest at the time, in order to support prediction, I was
trying to achieve actr-time synchrony by using actr to trigger the robotics
simulator clock.

Sounds like an interesting project.

Hi Sterling,

I also found your ACT-R 3D conference paper
https://acs.ist.psu.edu/iccm2016/proceedings/somers2016iccm.pdf

This paper is exactly what I had mind in reaching out the ACT-R community.

Is any of this code available on GitHub or on the ACT-R website?

I will certainly have questions for you as this project evolves.

Warm wishes,

Michel

I'm a biomedical engineer with interests in both medical simulation and human performance modeling, and I am trying to develop a hybrid human model toward a simulation of the human performance type.

I will probably have more questions for you as my interest in this evolves. Thanks for your kind consideration.
