Distributed Knowledge Acquisition Control with Use of the Intelligent Program Environment of the AT-TECHNOLOGY Workbench

The paper discusses the problem of distributed knowledge acquisition for the construction of complete and consistent knowledge bases in integrated expert systems via the sharing of knowledge sources of different topologies (the focused in this work databases as electronic media, experts and problem-oriented texts). The work is focused on models and methods of distributed knowledge acquisition from databases as additional knowledge sources and automation of the process by using an intelligent program environment. Special typical design procedure, called “Distributed knowledge acquisition” is reviewed, which provides synchronization ofdistributed knowledge acquisition processes. This procedure uses the technological knowledge base of the intelligent planner of the AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench and special program tools.
