Abstract
In the Leonardo project we explore an alternative way of organizing the central software of computers whereby the redundant duplication of concepts and facilities should be
greatly reduced. The kernel of the new system inherits traits from both operating system shells, programming language systems, discrete simulation systems, knowledge-based agent systems and others. It integrates a number of facilities that are usually considered as peripheral, such as an ontology structure and a version management facility. Facilities for communication between multiple such agent-like systems for the purpose of task-sharing and information exchange is an essential
ingredient in the design.
In the talk I will briefly describe the present, experimental implementation and then discuss the project from the following points of view:
- Short-term and long-term opportunities for major reform of computer software architecture
- Discussion of what types of software systems can with advantage be assimilated into a comprehensive architecture, with particular emphasis on human-robot dialog

- Discussion of what types of software systems can with advantage be assimilated into a comprehensive architecture, with particular emphasis on human-robot dialog
systems in multi-robot environments
- Perspective on textual data languages, such as XML and OWL, as compared with the representation developed in Leonardo
- New aspects on logics of actions and change that are obtained when working with the actual system implementation.
