OBJECT NETWORK: A FORMAL MODEL TO DEVELOP INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS
Ricardo Gudwin, Fernando A. C. Gomide · Advances in fuzzy systems · 1998
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to introduce an approach based on a generalization of the object-oriented paradigm for system modeling and implementation. The key concept is object network, a set of connected places containing objects modeling the characteristics and properties of a given system. Object network has a naturally distributed structure, is derived from a general and formal approach for a theory of objects, and provides a framework particularly suitable for computational intelligence. An object network has both, formal and representational power needed to develop and to implement intelligent systems. 1
