Abstract
A feasibility study concerning the possibility of integrating Medtool (an expert system shell) with STIMS (a object-oriented modelling and simulation environment) is presented. The relationship between the formalisms implemented by the two environments has resulted in the possibility to relate one formalism to each other. The generalized magnitudes formalism on which Medtool is based, appears as a formalism that may be considered for systems modelling and simulation introducing new Artificial Intelligence features into Computer Aided Systems Theory. Finally, having associated the concepts in one formalism to the concepts in the other, the integration of the two shells can be accomplished in an easier fashion and with more meaning.
