Applied Physics and Mathematics Annotation << Back Integration problems and modern intelligent systems software development features G.V. Rybina The modern state of researches and developments in intelligent systems with an emphasis on analysis of integration problems in intelligent systems and technologies for intelligent systems applications development are considered. The characteristic of modern processes in the field of artificial intelligence is presented. Tendencies to the integration of various scientific and technical paradigms for intelligent systems applications creation are considered. Examples of integration in artificial intelligence on the basis of various tools association are given. Some classes of the integrated expert systems, realized on the basis of integration with tutoring systems, databases, knowledge acquisition systems, software packages, hypertext and natural language systems, decision support systems, simulation systems, etc., are described in details. Features of methodology and technology of intelligent systems software development are analyzed. Key words: artificial intelligence, expert systems, intellectual systems, integration, problem area, tool means, a paradigm, methodology, the software.
