Abstract: Abstract This paper describes a Smalltalk-80-based prototype system that uses icons to model an organization. Users communicate complex goals to the system, such as meeting scheduling, by manipulating the icons. Underlying the icons is an elaborate set of data and knowledge structures. The icons are objects that appear to be user ‘agents’ in the sense that they are seen to contain data and behavior needed to complete the user’s goal. The system employs object-oriented programming techniques, expert systems, and other AI techniques.
