Abstract

In this paper we report \({\cal GISM}\), a constraint-based and object-oriented language for modelling and designing agent-based intelligent systems, including an introduction to the theory behind, the essence of the language, the control mechanisms for intelligent systems modelled in \({\cal GISM}\), and an application example. The language is quite general, declarative, high level, and naturally concurrent supported. It takes advantages of different programming paradigms and knowledge representation schemes.
