Abstract: By a system with multiple expertise, we mean one containing
two or more expert systems, all working on a common information domain.
Three such systems under current development will be briefly reviewed.
(1) Syclope, a system being developed for the French Board of
Electricity for aiding agents working under risky conditions to
improve their task behavior;
(2) Sonar, a system being developed for the Bull Computer Group for
aiding in the design, operation, and maintenance of computer
networks;
(3) Link, a system being developed for the Bull Group for aiding
decision makers in the networked computer area in the processes of
product planning.
The review will focus on the difficulties encountered in key aspects of
the development process: the acquisition of expertise, knowledge
representation, man/machine interface, and interactions amopng the
system and multiple users and experts.
