DoD GAteway Information System (DGIS) Common Command Language: A retrospective on the Introduction of Prolog as the Development Tool

Abstract

The introduction of PROLOG into the Common Command Language (CCL) development is reviewed. The advantages of using PROLOG as an artificial intelligence tool for developing fifth-generation programs are shown, in comparison with doing traditional third-generation programming. A brief is given on actual PROLOG programming, then the reasons for going to PROLOG are explained. The approach to CCL as using knowledge bases and blackboard architecture is described. The goals of CCL as an interface on the DoD Gateway Information System (DGIS) are to provide a standard program for accessing databases, provide maintainability with syntax and semantic changes as they occur, and provide adaptability to future requirements and enhancements. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Common command language; Computer networks; Interfaces.
