Intelligent Support Systems for Hyperknowledge
Abstract
Computer systems can assist in searching, understanding, and knowledge in creative problem-solving. We have explored this idea in the context of building a variety of intelligent support systems for high-functionality computer systems, emphasizing the following specific issues: representation of programs as knowledge networks where the code, the documentation, and visual representations are external representations generated from the same complex internal knowledge structure; user-definable filters to give users control of the parts they would like to see; constraint mechanisms to maintain consistency between internal and external representations; different browsing systems to explore hyperknowledge spaces and design kits as prototypes of hyperknowledge assistants. To increase the usefulness of high-functionality computer systems, they should be constructed as hyperknowledge systems where the intelligent support systems are an integral part of the overall design.
