Abstract
An important landmark in the evolution of programming languages is the development of C++. C++ offers the advantages of object-oriented programming, while retaining the efficiency of C. However, C++ is a statically typed language and does not support the incremental addition of classes. Further, C++ does not come with a problem solving mechanism. COSMOS (C++ Object-oriented System Made fOr expert System development) was developed to address these deficiences. COSMOS is available gratis to universities and other non-profit research organizations.
