Abstract
We propose a framework to deal with the cooperation of several pre-exi sting automated information systems. A canonical object model is used to homogenize data representation and support exchanges among various granularity objects. The layered architecture combines physical and co nceptual objects to provide local data sources interoperability. A cog nitive extension involving federative objects interactions gives advan ced capabilities to the system. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig hts reserved.
