Object model for the evaluation of nuclear data in the framework of object oriented programming

In order to construct an assisting system for the nuclear data evaluation process, a new framework of the knowledge base system have been proposed using the concept of the object-oriented programming (OOP), in which the knowledge can be modeled by the structure object and class, inheritance process, packaging of the data and method and message sending mechanism. The OOP based assisting system has high capability of modeling, and high maintainability and extensibility due to the modularity of the objects. Nuclear data evaluation process has been modeled by the collection of the objects and interaction between these objects. Main objects and transaction classes have been described. (author)
