Soar 
 
Soar means different things to different people, but it can basically be considered in three different ways: 
 
- A theory of cognition. As such it provides the principles behind the implemented Soar system. 
 - A set of principles and constraints on (cognitive) processing. Thus, it provides a (cognitive) architectural
     framework, within which you can construct cognitive models. In this view it can be considered as an
     integrated architecture for knowledge-based problem solving, learning and interacting with external
     environments. 
 - An AI programming language.
