Towards integrating logic, object, frame, and production

Abstract

Recently, considerable interest has arisen in integrating object-oriented and logic programming. In this paper, the authors describe an object-oriented logic programming language and discuss its extension by exploring its role and representation in an artificial intelligence frame system and production system. In particular they describe how to add derived slots into classes and to represent production rules in an object-oriented production system, forming a framework of knowledge-based systems with multiple paradigms.<>
