This paper describes a proposed model for a distributed intelligence system. The system is based on a communicating network of nodes where each node is a concurrent blackboard system. A preliminary concurrent blackboard system, which carries out a "Penrose tiling" of a planar area is discussed. This work leads to the general model--an interconnected network of such systems. The "shell" for such a system has been developed in the declarative, parallel programming language STRAND. This shell is described and analyzed in some detail, specifically as it functions at a node in the system. Two applications of the proposed approach are discussed.
