At the Avignon 91 Expert Systems and their Applications Conference, Harlequin will be announcing KnowledgeWorks - a complete development environment for the rapid creation of object oriented knowledge based software applications. Full integration. KnowledgeWorks rules have access to data in any CLOS object, C++ object or relational database through the LispWorks SQL and foreign function interfaces. Such a degree of integration means that the toolkit is ideal for embedding expert system components in larger applications. Graphical tools for rapid development. A full graphical interface enables fast and simple creation of the knowledge base. Facilities include a source control manager, Emacs style editor with automatic macro completion, and browsers for rules, classes and facts. Rule behaviour can be closely monitored using the forward chaining inference tracer or the backward chaining proof tracer. High performance. By compiling the rules into machine executable code and through optimal use of CLOS, KnowledgeWorks produces a compact, highly efficient delivery system for stand-alone or embedded products. Harlequin will be demonstrating KnowledgeWorks for the first time at the Avignon exhibition 29-31 May 91 - stand C 4,5 and 6. If you would like to know more about KnowledgeWorks come and visit us on the stand or contact Helen Goddard in our marketing department.
