Abstract
We introduce a novel interface to the blackboard architecture using research projects as the application. This graphical interface, HyperIcons, inherits many ideas from hypertext and is used to assist in the using and building of a planning tool. We use the typical blackboard structure design for the foundation of the planning system, but this structure differs through its interface which is to move more towards a planning language based on the blackboard architecture, hypertext and recent planning research.
