Abstract

Knowledge based systems (KBS) of first generation are characterized by the separation of domain specific knowledge and general problem solving strategies. Such systems lack of the following important abilities: knowledge acquisition according different paradigms of representation and processing, definition of deep knowledge caused by physiological processes of reasoning, and management of different abstraction levels. Next generation KBS provide a bases from managing these problems. Essential characteristics of this new systems are modularization of knowledge, distribution of knowledge across different hardware and software resources, and use of object-oriented technology for integrating symbolic and subsymbolic knowledge on different levels of abstraction
