Abstract
This paper is an evolution of a previous article by the authors
motivated by the need to provide computational support
to an agent-based implementation of design processes. It
presents a new programming environment to support the
development of CAD systems based on a hybrid agent
architecture in which the symbolic reasoning is carried out by
first-order logic. The reactive behaviour of the agents can be
achieved through a number of characteristics proposed for the
object-oriented environment. This environment is also a
general proposal for representing engineering design
knowledge in which logic is integrated into an object-oriented
paradigm.
