Using frames for knowledge representation in a CORBA-based distributed environment

Frame knowledge model provides a natural way of clustering knowledge and particularly dynamic rules around frames which in turn provides the natural way of distributing knowledge among networks hosts. Frame knowledge representation is very similar to traditional object-oriented approach. In the present paper the general features of the frames are considered. The basic principles and the architecture of the software tool for constructing knowledge-based systems are discussed. The application of planning techniques to maintain the frame hierarchy model is specified and further developed by defining a generalized algorithm of the Planner and Executor.
