Rethinking Smart Objects

Shows how to create intelligent software to control and automate the functional units of information created through object technology.

---

With the overload of data and automation in today's information technology world, intelligent software is needed to control and filter the resultant chaos. Object-oriented programming breaks software and information into functional units. Artificial intelligence and knowledge software distribute these units and enable them to communicate and negotiate with each other. In Rethinking Smart Objects Daniel Rasmus, a regular columnist for Object Magazine, and an accomplished knowledge engineer, has surveyed his own body of work and gathered the most important and relevant material from his contributions to the magazine. This is the first book to explain the integration of object technology and knowledge software development.
