Application methodology for REAKT1 systems

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a development methodology for building real-time knowledge-based systems (RTKBS) using the REAKT toolkit. In RAM (REAKT Application Methodology), we attempt to combine elements from three separate streams of ideas: Knowledge based systems (KBS), real-time systems (RT), and object-orientation (OO). The concept of application frameworks for building and reusing real-time knowledge-based systems is proposed. The methodology is illustrated with examples from an alarm handling application at an oil refinery.
