Integrating multiple sources to answer questions in Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We present in this paper an evolution of a tool from a user interface for a concrete Computer Algebra system for Algebraic Topology (the Kenzo system), to a front-end allowing the interoperability among different sources for computation and deduction. The architecture allows the system not only to interface several systems, but also to make them cooperate in shared calculations.
