History
Founded in 1980, IC marketed an early expert system environment (Knowledge Engineering Environment - KEE) for development and deployment of knowledge systems on the Lisp machines that had several advanced features, such as truth maintenance. While moving KEE functionality to the PC, IC created Kappa (later renamed PowerModel), one of the early object-oriented technologies development environments for commercial programming.
The company was also one of the UML Partners, a consortium which helped develop the standards for UML, the Unified Modeling Language.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
