Video games and heavy metal music have long shared a passing curiosity with one another. Look no further than the iconography of Doom, or Tim Schafer's Brütal Legend, for evidence of that. But it was in the mid 00s – during the reign of music and rhythm games such as Guitar Hero – that the link was most obvious. Count me among the ranks of those who learned about Pantera and Megadeth by way of the plastic instrument. Which is why this year's Metal: Hellsinger is on my radar.

Summary Eurisko is an AI program that learns by discovery We are applying Eurisko to the task of inventing new kinds of three-dimensional microelectronic devices that can then be fabricated using recently developed laser recrystallization techniques Three experiments have been conducted, and some novel designs and design rules have emerged. The paradigm for Eurisko's exploration is a loop in which it. Many of the well-known primitive devices were synthesized quickly, such as the MOSFET, Junction Diode, and Bipolar Transistor. This was unsurprising, as they were short sentences in the descriptive language we had defined (a language with verbs like Abut and ApplyEField, and with nouns like nDopedRegion and IntrinsicChannelRegion) Future We wish to thank those graduate students who have aided us in the construction of RLL, the language in which Eurisko is written, most notably Greg Harris at CMIJ and Russ Grciner at Stanford.
