Abstract : |
MARVEL is an architecture for implementing knowledge-based engineering environments that integrate collections of computerized engineering tools. The architecture uses expert system technology to automatically carry out many of the menial chores otherwise done by engineering project personnel. It consists of a knowledge representation language, a translator for the language, and a database manager that acts as the run-time support for the language. Three implementations of MARVEL have been completed, and we are currently designing the fourth., |
