Abstract
In this paper, we present an application of object-based representatio n techniques to the design of a knowledge-based system for organic syn thesis planning. The notion of an object-based representation system d escribed in this paper relies on the integration of basic programming styles, such as message sending and access-oriented programming, with reasoning capabilities, such as classification. The basis for integrat ion is the subsumption relation that is used jointly with inheritance to provide a two-dimensional universe in which representation and prob lem solving can be performed successfully.
