ZDEST-2 is built to test the authors ' ideas on what characteristics such tools should have and how to reflect them consistently within a system. New concepts such as three-level control scheme and 3-D explanation are introduced;multiple representation methods and inference engines are offered and integrated. The most distinguished characteristics of ZDEST - 2 are: (1) It is a general tool suitable for building var i ous domain oriented expert systems<ESsl. (2) The ESs built by it can fully reflect the nature of applicated domains. (3) Welldeveloped environment is provided for the building and using of ESs. (4) A user friendly interface is emphasized, explanations can be tailored to the elaboration needed, and, external procedure accesses are allowed. This paper gives a quite detailed description about how ZDEST-2 gains such characteristics.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/17","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/0017.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/17.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/bibtex/17","volume":{"slug":"1987","title":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1987","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/","year":1987,"location":"Milan, Italy","dates":"","editors":"John McDermott","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Architectures and Languages","track":"Architectures and Languages","number":17,"pages":{"first":91,"last":95},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"Luc steels, \"Second Generation Expert Systems.\" ~. 1:1 <1985) 213-221.","title":"Second Generation Expert Systems","authors":"Luc Steels","year":null,"venue":null,"doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":2,"raw":"D.A.Haterman, \"A Guide to Expert Sys- tems.\" Addison-Hesley Publishinq Company, 1985.","title":"A Guide to Expert Systems","authors":"D A Haterman","year":"1985","venue":null,"doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":3,"raw":"B.Hayes-Roth, \"A Blackboard Architec- ture for Control.\" Artificial Intelliqence 26:1 (1985) 251-321.","title":"A Blackboard Architecture for Control","authors":"B Hayes-Roth","year":"1985","venue":"Artificial Intelliqence","doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":4,"raw":"B.G.
