Short Annotated Bibliography
  1. Levin, Michael, Lisp 1.5 Programmers Manual, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1965.  The classic manual for the most widely used programming language for artificial intelligence research.
  2. Lifschitz, Vladimir (ed.), Artificial Intelligence and Mathematical Theory of Computation, Papers in Honor of John McCarthy, Academic Press, San Diego, 1991.  Covers much of John McCarthy’s pioneering research.
  3. McCarthy, John, M.L. Minsky, N. Rochester and C.E. Shannon, “A proposal for the Dartmouth summer conference on artificial intelligence”  Conference Announcement for the seminal meeting on AI, 31 Aug. 1955.
  4. McCarthy, John, “Programs with Common Sense,” Proceedings of the Teddington Conference on the Mechanization of Thought Processes, 1958.  His earliest work on getting computers to reason like people.
  5. McCarthy, John, “A Time Sharing Operator Program for our Projected IBM 709”, Memorandum to Professor P.M. Morse, Jan. 1, 1959. This memo initiated the development of timesharing systems.
  6. McCarthy, John, et al, “Thor—a display based time sharing system,” Proceedings of the AFIPS Conference, 1967.  The first display-based general purpose timesharing system.
