SOAR

If you have time before the tutorial, the following papers are useful background on Soar. The more time you have, the more you can read, but the first two are typically enough to get started, because the tutorial does not assume much Soar knowledge, and are in most libraries.

Waldrop, M. M. (1988a): Soar: A unified theory of cognition? Science, 241, 296-298.

(These two articles by Waldrop are the shortest and best value introduction to UTCs and Soar. Useful for preview and review.)
