Abstract
The Intelligent Computer-Assisted Design System (ICADS) project is concerned with the implementation of computer-based design environments in which multiple domain agents interact with each other and human designers to cooperatively solve design problems. Previous ICADS implementations have included databases containing prototype knowledge and reference data, rule-based expert systems and procedural agents, a centralized blackboard type coordinator, a CAD-drawing system, and several graphic user interfaces. Recognizing the compatibility between distributed computing systems and the design activity, the ICADS-Kernel system will substantially extend the distributed, cooperative, problem solving capabilities provided by previous versions, through the addition of dynamic system configuration, save and restore, and message passing facilities, as well as application development tools. Collectively, these faclities represent a new set of software modules that will provide an experimental framework for current and future explorations in cooperative design problem solving.
