KEE
Knowledge Engineering Environment. Frame-based expert system. Supports dynamic
inheritance, multiple inheritance, polymorphism. Classes, meta-classes and
objects are all treated alike. A class is an instance of a meta-class. Can
control rules for merging of each field when multiple inheritance takes place.
Methods are written in LISP. Actions may be triggered when fields are accessed
or modified. Extensive GUI integrates with objects. Can easily make object
updates to be reflected on display or display selections to update fields. This
can in turn trigger other methods or inference rules which may then update other
parts of the display. Intellicorp, for TI Explorer. "The Role of Frame-Based
Representation in Reasoning", R. Fikes et al, CACM 28(9):904- 920 (Sept 1985).
