    Acquire SDK 2.1

    Category  Intelligent Software>Expert (Knowledge Based)
    Systems/Tools

    Abstract  The Acquire Software Development Kit (SDK), featured in the
    Acquire software package (see G6G Product Number 20040), lets you
    integrate the Acquire inference engine and knowledge bases into your
    applications. You can build intelligent applications using many popular
    development environments -- including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Java,
    Delphi, PowerBuilder, ToolBook -- or any other development
    environment that supports ActiveX controls or Dynamic Link Library
    (DLL) function calls.

    Note: Info for the 'Acquire (NT/2000/XP) Service' is described below.

    Acquire SDK 2.1 Features:

    1) Includes an ActiveX control and Application Programming Interface
    (API) library (DLL) to control the inference engine and access
    knowledge base contents.

    2) Includes both stand-alone and client versions of the ActiveX control
    and API library.

    3) ActiveX control has over 70 properties, methods, and events.

    4) API library has over 80 functions.

    5) Easy to use -- you can build a full-featured intelligent application in
    Visual Basic with just a handful of statements.

    6) The inference engine generates events when a rule fires, when a
    conflict occurs, or when it needs additional information (input).

    7) Ability to utilize multiple knowledge bases simultaneously in one
    application.

    8) Ability to deliver client/server applications.

    9) Includes sample applications that show you how to build WWW
    applications with Common Gateway Interface (CGI) or Java.

    10) Ability to access the contents of knowledge bases, including
    messages written by the knowledge base author that can be used to
    give situation-specific commands to your application, and permitting
    customization from within the knowledge base.

    11) Flexibility of data source: obtain input interactively from the user,
    from the knowledge base, from a database or spreadsheet, or from a
    hardware device or other source.

    12) The expert system is 'embedded' -- the user needn't be aware that
    an expert system is being used at all.

    13) Report generation -- you can access the Acquire "end user" reports
    and use them in your application.

    14) Approximately 400 pages of printed documentation.

    ActiveX Control Events - The Acquire ActiveX control offers the following
    Events:

    1) Conflict - Two or more rules are attempting to assign values to the
    same object during the same cycle, and the knowledge base is unable
    to arbitrate among the conflicting rules. The application must resolve
    the conflict.

    2) GetInput - The engine is requesting a value for an object.

    3) RuleFired - A rule has fired.

    Note: Licensing - Applications constructed using the Acquire SDK can
    be distributed royalty free.

    Acquire (NT/2000/XP) Service - The Acquire Service, featured in the
    Acquire software package (see G6G Product Number 20040), is an
    NT/2000/XP service that allows Acquire knowledge bases to be used
    in a client/server environment.

    The Acquire Service contains Acquire's inference engine and performs
    the heavy computational work of running cases and generating
    reports. The knowledge base (KB) files reside with the service on the
    server computer.

    A client application runs on a remote computer that is connected by a
    network to the computer that is running the service. (The client can
    also run on the same computer that is running the service.) If the client
    and server computers are both connected to the Internet, they can be
    located anywhere in the world.

    Client applications communicate with the Acquire Service by making
    calls to the Acquire client API library or by using the Acquire client
    ActiveX control.

    Use of the Acquire Service is nearly transparent to client applications.
    In many cases, the source code for client/server and non-client/server
    versions of an application are identical. The only additional
    consideration in the client/server version is that it must specify the host
    name and port number at which the Acquire Service can be reached.

    System Requirements  Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, or XP.

    Note: The Acquire NT/2000/XP service feature is available only under
    NT, 2000, or XP.

    Acquire for Unix/Linux - Under special arrangements, Acquire can be
    made available for most Unix and Linux platforms.
