MindSuite, a distributed AI solution

The classic organization of AI systems (knowledge bases, a base of facts, and a motor of inference) have several limits due to the resolution method, reasoning, control, etc. MindSuite, conceived by a group of scientists (All Phd ) in AI, makes it possible to stop or eliminate the previous limitations. In order to do that, the information is distributed between independent entities (or "Smart Agents") each one disposing of its own intelligence.

Such an organization implies the improving of the classic objected oriented language. All of the Smart Agents being concurrent with each other, MindSuite lends itself to non-monotone temporal and uncertain reasoning.

For now, MindSuite runs on conventional computers, PC under Windows 3, PS/2, Sparcstation (Sun), and soon on large systems. Because of its suppleness and its performances, MindSuite is at the heart of numerous industrial projects: A system of assistance for the resolution of incidents of heterogeneous systems, intelligent routing, Learning software, as well as diverse systems in the supply chain environment..
