Linking Generic Tasks in ISL
Email I received after inquiring about connecting generic tasks:
>>Do your GT agents in the toolset have a protocol for communication

Hi Anne,
You are right it never hurts to ask. Surprise, surprise, we have some
integration protocols there, not many, but some exist. They are all
centered around a Routine Designer using another problem solver. Here they
are:
- At the Specialist level, you can have a specialist be another Routine
Designer.
- At the Step level, instead of having a standard matcher, the step can be
accomplished by:
- a hierarchical classifier: The step's attribute is assigned the
first established tip level specialist in case of Single design or all
established tip level specialists in Multiple Design
- an algorithmic problem solver (basically any smalltalk method
with a return value)
With all of these, a variable mapping maps values from the calling problem
solver to the called one and back.
Let me know if I can answer any further questions.
