The technology for the development of viable intelligent services

Abstract

The paper presents a technology for the development of intelligent multi-agent services. This technology is put to reduce the labor-intensiveness of intelligent cloud application development and maintenance. The key aspect of the technology is an independent development of knowledge bases, a user interface and a problem solver as an assembly of agents, and their integration into an intelligent service. The principal specific of the technology are: two-level ontological approach to the formation of knowledge and data bases with a clear separation between the ontology and knowledge base (database) formed on its basis; the ontology-based specification of not only the domain terminology and structure, but also of the rules for knowledge and data formation, control of their integrity and completeness; division of all software components into declarative and procedural parts; unified semantic representation of all declarative components (ontologies, knowledge and data bases, declarative parts of software components), etc. The proposed approaches are supported by the IACPaaS cloud platform where expert-oriented formation of each service component with an appropriate tool is provided.
