Intelligent software technology for the new decade
Our collective has been working in the Al domain for more than 15 years. During most of that period our research focused on two “classical” subjects: 1. natural language interfaces and 2. knowledge representation and processing. From the early 1980s, in addition to working on the conceptual aspects of Al, we have been increasingly involved in developing advanced technology of intelligent systems. Participating in the START project [1] stimulated our research and development [R&D] in this direction. Our task in the project was to design a more elaborate version of an industrial-type technology based on pilot software “factories.” These would allow a multiple—10-fold and more—increase in the efficiency
