Integration architecture of expert systems, neural networks, hypertext, and multimedia can provide competitive opportunities for industrial applications

Abstract This paper promotes the idea of integration of computer software technologies; such as, expert systems, neural networks, hypertext, multimedia, and graphics user interface (GUI), to an unique hybrid system that increase market opportunities and competitiveness. The goal is to present ingredients of a business strategy that can ensure the capability to provide long-term competitiveness for industrial applications. Concepts for development integration and flexibility, prototype system transferring, teaming, and other consideration for winning, evolving at The University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and the Center for Space and Applied Research (CSTAR), are presented to amplify on salient aspects of competitiveness.
