Abstract
An Extended Object Model (XOM) is presented for the design and development of Knowledge-Based Management Systems (KBMS). A set of operations is defined on the object model, and the notion of XOM graph is introduced to study the inferencing capabilities of the underlying graph. The behavior of the object classes present in a XOM is captured through an Action Integrated Extended Object Model (AIXOM). The XOM is used in conceptualizing the design of Knowledge-Based Management Systems. A KBMS Developing Environment (KBMSDE) is proposed on the basis of that design. The activities of the Knowledge-Editor and the Shell, both constituents of a KBMS, are described through their AIXOM. The set of XOM operations is shown to be complete in KBMSDE. An example is presented to illustrate the organization of a KBMS developed in such an environment. The XOM graph, derived from its associated rulebase, is analyzed for its connectivity in relation to its inference intensive completeness.
