Abstract
The paper presents the ESPRIT Project ARCHON (Architecture for Cooperating Heterogeneous On-line Systems) which has started 1989 as a 5 year project. It aims at the development of an architecture for cooperating Expert Systems for industrial applications. Apart from the aims of the project, an extensive overview of the state of the art, some first findings are described. In order to achieve such an architecture and to establish a cooperating framework across new and existing systems (KBS and conventional), the project aims at defining and implementing a Knowledge Interchange Protocol (KIP) which will ensure Reusability (of existing systems), Versatility (with respect to different techniques and paradigms used in the different systems) and Openness (in the sense of information interchange with conventional systems, such as data bases or process control systems).
