Welcome to "Conscious" Mattie's home page. CMattie is a current project
of the "Conscious" Software Research
Group at The University of Memphis'
Institute of Intelligent
Systems. CMattie is the first attempt to design and implement an
intelligent agent under the framework of Bernard Baars' Global Workspace
Theory. She is a successor to
Virtual Mattie, and a
sister agent of Ida.
