An extensible java package for making directed conversation via text. Use JFRED to produce computer personalities like S.A.R.A.H. from EUREKA, on the SyFy Channel, or like HAL 9000 from the movie, 2001 A Space Odyssey. Your imagination is the limit.
JFRED was developed by
Robby Garner
and
Paco Xander Nathan., with contributions by Søren Gjellerup Christiansen. The acronym "JFRED" refers to Java-based
FRED Response Emulation Devices.
The software platform developed around the deployment of Barry
DeFacto, a personality built first as a C++ CGI program, but then
re-designed as a Java web server, and eventually as a tiny applet.
JFRED requires
Java JDK 1.6
and is released as an Open Source project under the
GNU Public License.
Overall, JFRED provides a natural language interface for Internet
software that can be described as:
JFRED Chat Server
Sponsored by Institute of Mimetic Sciences, Inc.
The server supports a variety of front-end/client interfaces, including direct telnet, HTML/Servlet forms, Expect scripts, MOO bots, and Java applets embedded in HTML pages, as well as standard I/O for testing.
