Walter Ralph Reitman,
an American psychologist, and Professor Emeritus at Lally School of Management & Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York ^[1], and before professor at Department of Psychology, University of Michigan, and from 1957 assistant professor of industrial administration and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, then the Carnegie Institute of Technology ^[2]. He holds a B.A. from Harvard University in 1953, a M.A. from Wesleyan University in 1954, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from University of Michigan in 1957, and beside cognitive science, his research interests include artificial intelligence and expert systems.

Reitman-Wilcox

Two of Walter R. Reitman's students at the University of Michigan were Rick Hayes-Roth and Bruce Wilcox, who wrote the MTS/LISP interpreter in order to write a Go playing program co-authored by his advisor ^[3]. The program has been described both as the Reitman-Wilcox Go program ^[4] and the INTERIM.2 Go program ^[5]. After the research project was discontinued, Wilcox rewrote the INTERIM.2 program to produce the commercial Go program Nemesis ^{[6] [7]}.
