Gaining Strategic Advantage with Real-Time Distributed Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Synergy of communications technology with artificial intelligence results in increased distribution, specialization, and generalization of knowledge. Generalization continues migration of the technology to the main-stream programming practice. Distribution further personalizes automated decisionmaking support. Specialization scales up domain expertise by architecting in real-time a series of limited-domain expert systems that work in concert. These important trends resolve a list of current shells inefficiencies revealed via analysis of a distributed systems management platform.
