1 Design and Analysis Tools for Concurrent Blackboard Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The blackboard is a centralized global data structure, often partitioned in a hierarchical manner, used to represent the problem domain. The blackboard is also used to allow inter-knowledge source communication and acts as a shared memory visible to all of the knowledge sources. A knowledge source is a highly specialized, highly independent process that takes inputs from the blackboard data structure, performs a computation, and places the results of the computation in the blackboard data structure.

Design Alternatives for Parallel and Distributed Blackboard Systems
Since its inception, the blackboard paradigm has been viewed as particularly appropriate for parallel and distributed hardware architectures. Yet, the paradigm’s multiprocessing potential remains largely untapped. The availability of multiprocessing hardware and languages in conjunction with tools for building blackboard applications is sparking renewed interest in multiprocessing blackboard ar...
متن کاملDesigning Integrated Engineering Environments : Blackboard - Based Integration of Design andAnalysis
Blackboard-based integration of multiple agents is a natural and viable technology for the implementation of concurrent-engineering (CE) environments. This article presents a blackboard architecture that has been extended to support the integration of heterogeneous collaborative agents. The suitability of the architecture as an integration framework for CE applications is discussed followed by ...
متن کاملThe ELINT Application on Poligon: The Architecture and Performance of a Concurrent Blackboard System
A b s t r a c t In this paper we discuss Poligon, a skeletal system fo r the development of concurrent blackboard based applications, its architecture and the motivation fo r its design. A number of experiments have been performed in order to evaluate the performance of Poligon. Some of these are detailed and the results are shown. Lessons learned in the development of Poligon are given and con...
متن کاملKnowledge-based support for management of concurrent, multidisciplinary design
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications to design have tended to focus on modeling and automating aspects of single discipline design tasks. Relatively little attention has thus far been devoted to representing the kinds of design 'metaknowledge' needed to manage the important interface issues that arise in concurrent design, that is, multidisciplinary design decision-making. This paper provi...
