Abstract

In this paper examples are given of how modern information technology may have an impact on the way we build and use computerised models for different applications. The KBS-MEDIA (knowledge-based systems-media) group of projects is described. These projects are aimed at integrating advanced software techniques (knowledge-based systems, HyperCard from Apple Computer, etc) with new distribution and storage media. The ‘hyperdocuments’ which are created possess powerful man-machine interface and dynamic model-building properties. The system described forms a demonstration environment used in different applications to capture, test, and communicate ideas, so allowing fast prototyping. New tools for building and using ‘hypermedia’ systems have been defined, created, and tested. These tools are adapted to the needs of the people intended to use them, by means of ‘friendly’ interfaces. Some comments are made on the ideas behind the project, as well as on how the KBS-MEDIA environment is used in the ‘City Advisor’ application.
