DAI-CLIPS: Distributed, Asynchronous, Interacting CLIPS
Denis Gagné, Alain Garant · 1994
DAI-CLIPS is a distributed computational environment within which each CLIPS is an active independent computational entity with the ability to communicate freely with other CLIPS. Furthermore, new CLIPS can be created, others can be deleted or modify their expertise, all dynamically in an asynchronous and independent fashion during execution. The participating CLIPS are distributed over a network of heterogeneous processors taking full advantage of the available processing power. We present the general framework encompassing DAI-CLIPS and discuss some of its advantages and potential applications. 1 Introduction Scenarios to be solved by Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications rapidly increase in complexity. If we are to even allude to the enormously difficult endeavor that represents Artificial Intelligence, very flexible, robust and powerful computational systems are going to be needed. These programs, and the processing architecture supporting them, will have to be able to cope wi...
