Abstract

We discuss problems to construct intelligent decision support systems, and propose KORE (Knowledge Oriented Reasoning Environment) as an environment for developing such systems. KORE is a hybrid tool for assisting unified knowledge-based program construction, and is composed of four subsystems. Each of the subsystems provides a unique knowledge programming paradigm which is object-oriented (e.g., SMALLTALK), data-oriented (e.g., demons), rule-oriented (e.g., OPS5), network-oriented (e.g., semantic networks), or logic-oriented (e.g., Prolog) programming paradigm. These subsystems can be integrated by using a relational table based on a logic programming language, which is used as a common internal representation for information. The integration by the relational table enables to provide a unifying principle for the different programming paradigms. KORE can offer a hybrid environment to solve problems on intelligent decision support systems.
