Using ODIIPSA98 to design the computer-supporting environment for integrated human-machine discussion system

The study of an integrated human-machine discussion system for supporting economic decisions requires establishing a computer-supporting environment, which can discover the knowledge about economics from heterogeneous information sources, and then utilize them to provide useful information for the experts in different locations. It also should allow real-time discussion among such economic experts and finally upgrade the overall correctness of economic decisions. ODIIPSA98 (Open Distributed Intelligent Information Processing System Architecture ´98), a pragmatic structural model of open intelligent systems, is MAS-based and information (including multi-media information, knowledge and such like) accessing oriented. The paper first introduces the fundamental ideas and design principles of ODIIPSA98, and then moves to the computer supporting system for upgrading economic decisions, in which ODIIPSA98 serves as its basic framework. After some analyses and comparisons, it is obvious that, such a system, established under the instruction of ODIIPSA98, would gradually show its advantages of open flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and so on
