This proposal addresses a feasibility study for a highly flexible expert system-based bibliographic citation generator for personal computers. the recent proliferation of inexpensive but relatively powerful personal computers has led many scientists and scholars to construct computerized databases… More

This proposal addresses a feasibility study for a flexible set of tools for constructing interfaces between expert systems and commercial database managment systems (dbmss) on pcs. a great number of military problems suitable for expert systems support involve data which is already maintained on… More

Artificial intelligence research has shown the importance of cooperating expert systems architectures in the construction of intelligent programs to assist with tasks ranging from distributed situation assessment to inference of protein structure. the most widely adopted is the blackboard… More

Inadequate understanding of the target problem often leads to incorrect requirements and specifications for programmingprojects, especially for distributed systems. errors are discovered late and costly revisions ensue. modelling the problem domain with flexible and relatively inexpensive prototypes… More

Many commercial, governmental, and military organizations today must develop large highly flexible and "intelligent" databases in such a way that complex symbolic reasoning and numerical computation must be closely integrated - for example, a database of thermodynamic properties of organic fuels… More

The navy today possesses databases supporting the unique requirements of individual combat training systems. these individual databases are implemented using different database management systems (dbmss) and support differing programming languages. many exist on separate computer hardware. to… More

The food component research data base (fcrdb) is a large, sophisticated database operating efficiently on pc/at computers, providing sophisticated, complex retrievals of food data. it is highly desirable to extend the capabilities of the fcrdb to include support for: sophisticated user interfaces,… More

Army units make use of a variety of pseudo-formatted message types, particularly for tactical intelligence processing. these messages exhibit considerable variation from official formats, reflecting differing operating procedures or changing needs. official message formats are amenable to standard… More
