## Introduction

## I-X Process Panels (I-P2)

The I-X Process Panels - User Guide is intended to provide an introduction to the I-X system, its foundations and its tools, to give a user's manual allowing you to apply I-X to your task, and to provide some guidelines for tailoring I-X to your particular task, domain and environment.

Section 1 gives an introduction to the motivation behind the I-X project and the facilities it provides its users.

Section 2 provides a quick-start guide: those eager to try the I-X tools should skip to this section.

The subsequent five sections describe the use of individual I-X tools in greater detail:

- Section 3 describes the use of I-P2, Process Panels.
- Section 4 covers the use of I-DE, the domain and process editor.
- Section 5 explains the use of the I-Space agent organisation and relationship tool.
- Section 6 describes the use of Messenger instant messaging tool.
- Section 7 discusses the use of I-Plan an AI activity planning tool.

Sections 8 and 9 outline the steps necessary to move beyond a basic use of the I-X tools by tailoring them for particular applications. Finally, Appendices A, B and C provide handy reference information.

## The I-X Domain Editor (I-DE)

The I-X Domain Editor Guide describes the editor privided with I-X for editing activity models. The main window of the Domain Editor contains several editor panels for editing different aspects (or constructs) of the domain. Currently the editors available are

- the Global Domain Editor, which contain information about the domain itself (e.g. the domain name);
- the Activity Editor, which edits "refinements" which contain information about activities and how they break down into sub-activities;
- the Grammar Editor, which currently only shows the patterns that are in use in the domain.

## The Planner (I-Plan)

## I-Views

## I-Faces

The standard I-X distribution also includes software that is not part of I-X (see the imports readme-file). Users should be aware of this and should read the software licences for: JDOM, JUnit, MGraph, ICU, Jena2, Xerces, Jakarta Oro, and LOG.
