....It will require a clear, understandable high level ontology and sets of guidelines for its use. There is also a strong argument for an implementation interlingua. The medical community has so far made little use of the Knowledge Interchange Format (KIF) Ontolingua formalism and toolkit [11, 14]. There are questions concerning second order constructs such as transitivity in KIF, but its use as a publicly available standard should be seriously investigated. Much of the knowledge in existing coding and classification systems may be capable of extraction using semi automatic methods based ....

Numerous examples can be found in the literature of applications of agent based systems to enterprise integration (Pan and Tenenbaum, 1991) concurrent engineering (Cutkosky and Engelmore, 1992) Tenenbaum, Weber, and Gruber, 1992), and (Olsen, Cutkosky, Tenenbaum, and Gruber, 1994) and manufacturing (Kwok and Norrie, 1993) These systems exhibit significant advances in distributed problem solving.

....each other through structured messages 3.2.2 Objects as Beliefs, Sensors, and Effectors The first relationship between agents and objects is at the belief level. Passive objects that merely store attributes frequently appear in belief databases (Georgeff and Ingrand, 1990) The Ontolingua project (Gruber, 1992) has produced a software system that can translate frame based knowledge representations into a KIF beliefs database, and vice versa. A frame, as an object, exhibits the static aspects but differs in other ways. Ontolingua can directly translate the static properties of objects that appear in an ....

....fact that all agents share a common goal represented by their common knowledge base is another unusual characteristics. This led to the design of a very specific interaction protocol and the enforcement of consistency in Co 4 . However, the Co 4 principle is similar to that of the SHADE project [9] which has one foot in each world. The SHADE project builds a knowledge medium which aims at supporting the collaborative design of an artefact; in Co 4 the artefact is the knowledge base. Such a system must enforce both the consistency and the agreement of everyone (human or software agent) ....

....or knowledge level. Passive objects that merely store attributes frequently appear in belief databases (Georgeff and Ingrand, 1990) Inheritance on the basis of attributes is also often employed to build up new compound data structures that can be used to represent beliefs. The Ontolingua project (Gruber, 1992) has produced a software system that can translate frame based knowledge representations into a KIF beliefs database, and vice versa. Passive domain objects that appear in an agent s belief database are similar to frames. In terms of the six aspects of object orientation discussed in section 2.2 ....

....that is mailed or faxed to team members in other departments. Those individuals must then re enter the relevant information in the format required by their tools. Due to this inefficiency, designers end up making decisions on the basis of inconsistent or out of date information. The SHADE project [10] is primarily concerned with the information sharing aspect of the concurrent engineering problem. Rather than attempting to model the design process [16,30] we are demonstrating a flexible infrastructure for anticipated knowledge based, machine mediated collaboration between disparate ....

....initiative to develop and demonstrate major improvements in the design process for submarines and surface ships. This will result in dramatic changes in the handling of information and the process of design. An SBD architecture for a submarine design is expected to involve from 50 to 100 computer nodes linked together on a network using a conceptually shared product data base and 3D CAD design representation. Using the Simulation Based Design system, everyone involved in the design of a ship or ship system will be linked to and able to receive feedback from the operational ....
