Abstract: The paper describes a knowledge-based scalable multimedia environment for graph based modeling and the design of complex objects over the Internet. A complex object is modeled as a directed hierarchical graph with each sub-component abstracted as a node and the shared parameters between two components as an edge. The knowledge base archives and retrieves reusable components, and integrates multiple simultaneous distributed numeric simulations of components over the Internet. The tool exploits heterogeneous associative logic programming and has been implemented using CORBA to exploit heterogeneity and user transparent distributed object-based computing. Java has been used for an architecture independent graphical user interface accessible via the World Wide Web. The design is visualized using XML extended to visualize graph-based multimedia objects over the Internet.
