提出了一种利用人工智能（AI）技术集成设计工程师使用的许多独立计算机的模型。该系统采用黑板（BB）系统架构，以及之前用于集成专家系统的人工智能方法。（凯斯等人，1990年）。该模型将BB的集成能力扩展到商业和用户编写的程序。通过使用额外的人工智能技术，BB系统获得了额外的真相维护和证明能力。关键词:计算、人工智能、计算机、设计、工程师、计算机程序、建筑服务、集成设计、维护、专家系统研讨会、ASHRAE Trans。 1991年，第97卷，第2部分

Proposes a model that utilises artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to integrate the many stand-alone computers used by design engineers. The system employs a blackboard (BB) system architecture, and AI approach that has previously been used for integration of expert systems. (Case et al. 1990). The model extends the BB's integration ability to commercial and user-written programs. Using additional AI techniques, the BB system acquires the added capability for truth maintenance and justification.KEYWORDS: calculating, artificial intelligence, computers, designing, engineers, computer programs, building services, integrated design, maintenance, expert systems
