Abstract
The cooperative networked workspaces compose a design
framework making use of network computing technology to
integrate a knowledge-based blackboard system with
algorithmic programs on the network. Knowledge-based
expert systems are suitable for solving ill-structured problems
Algorithmic programs are best for solving large-scale
numerical problems and can assist the analysis in the realm of
mechanics. The problems in integrating knowledge-based
expert systems with algorithmic programs usually are
surrounded by the data exchange difficulties resulted from
the differences of their platforms. Therefore, this research
aims at developing a networked environment for blackboard-based
cooperative structural design and defining a set of
specifications for exchange data between input/output files of
the analytic programs and the blackboard.
