Cooperative Knowledge Bases.

Abstract

This report is an examination of the complex issues involved with integrating expert systems from the viewpoint of logic programming. An overview of expert systems and expert system building tools (present and future) is presented, together with three Air Force projects for cooperating expert systems. A summary of a knowledge based execution system leads to a discussion of how this system can be used to answer many of the integration problems by reduction to the NP-complete problem of allocation. A preliminary static allocation algorithm is proposed. Keywords: Distributed knowledge bases, Concurrent architectures, Logic programming. SDW
