چکیده

We view cooperating systems as being a set of systems that are distributed over a common communication network and that work towards solving a common task. This is achieved by coordinating and exchanging information and expertise. Such systems exclude conventional database systems since the knowledge these systems contain is buried within application code. In this paper, we overcome this problem by introducing a layer of special re ective, i.e. metalevel, objects which surround each local database system. These objects are used to capture domain and operational knowledge, and to describe, at least in part, remote systems and to monitor task-oriented activities. In this way, we can turn interconnected conventional database systems into a set of cooperating knowledge-based systems.

Inference and re ection in the object - centered representation language

This paper explains the inference and re ection capabilities of NOOS, an object-centered representation language designed to integrate problem solving and learning. Problem solving and learning in NOOS are modelled by means of concepts, tasks, methods and metalevels. Metalevels allow NOOS to reason own problem solving. Using metalevels, NOOS can reason about preferences in order to make decisio...

Investigating the method of achieving technology upstream of Iran's oil and gas industry using game theory in two modes of cooperation (transfer) and non-cooperation (independence)

Access to technology in the upstream oil and gas industry is one of the most challenging issues. In this industry, in order to be able to apply the desired effects of technology in the economic and development dimension, in the decision-making process, the choice to acquire technology must be such as to avoid repeating the ineffective approaches of the past. However, the most divisive And expli...

Platform portability is one of the utmost demanded properties of a system today, due to the diversity of runtime execution environment of wide-area networks, and parallel programs are no exceptions. However, parallel execution environments are VERY diverse, could change dynamically, while performance must be portable as well. As a result, techniques for achieving platform portability are someti...
