Popis: Computers offer many tools to aid the engineer in producing better designs. Some of these tools are expert systems that, historically, have been expensive to develop and difficult to market. Other tools are complex, general-purpose applications that require training and expertise to be correctly applied to specific problems. A framework which allows such tools to cooperate in a networked environment would eliminate duplication of programming effort and allow cheaper development of expert systems. Being available on the Internet also offers an attractive means of distributing the product to engineers who need it. This paper describes a framework that allows engineering software on the Internet to cooperate in order to solve a user’s problem.
