Abstract

Combining rule-based expert systems and scientific applications has long been a challenge. So far, however, the idea has not had the expected success; the main reasons are the incompatibility of implementation languages used in both activities and the lack of integration methodology. But today, the object-oriented approach provides the appropriate paradigm on which an integration methodology can be built. In this paper, we outline the concept of an intelligent-object, describe its functionality, and sketch the principles of its implementation in existing applications. Details of the implementation are given in [1].
