CONFIGURING ONLINE PROBLEM-SOLVING RESOURCES WITH THE INTERNET REASONING SERVICE

摘要

Existing services on the World-Wide Web tend to be "integral." For instance, online services for data analysis are available, but usually it is neither possible to modify the underlying reasoning system, nor to configure it for a different domain, nor to integrate different services to produce new functionalities. Our research goal is to develop the technological framework needed to provide sophisticated online problem-solving resources, configurable for different applications. We describe the design and initial implementation of the Internet Reasoning Service―a Web-based front-end enabling developers to prototype knowledge-based applications quickly out of reusable components in distributed libraries. Our aim is to make reliable problem-solving technology available to a wider audience and to provide the level of intelligent support needed to allow rapid generation of Web-based reasoning services.
