Jess was written by Ernest Friedman-Hill at Sandia National Laboratories as part of an internal research project. The first version of Jess was written in late 1995, when Java was very, very new. Jess has evolved considerably since then! A large number of Jess users have contributed code, suggestions, and patches; many of them are thanked by name in the Jess Manual.
