Abstract: A method for solving problems using an expert system in which the Rulebase includes a section having specific definitions of processes or procedures which are available to the expert system as a data source. The method allows data to be collected dynamically in response to and in accordance with parameters supplied by the expert system and at a time determined by the expert system. The ability of the expert system to provide meaningful conclusions is considerably enhanced when such type of data is made available since any process or procedure that can be executed on the host for the expert system can become a source of current data for analysis by the expert system. Computer hardware diagnostic applications can include running self-diagnostic procedures even on the host system.

Abstract: A method for running an expert system on a data processing system in which the Rulebase is segmented, preferably into contextual segments or units so that the limited size of the system memory can accommodate each segment. When the Rulebase is segmented, it is then possible to eliminate portions of the Rulebase containing data or knowledge that is not needed in a particular application. The segmenting of the Rulebase also allows the expert system to be run with systems or on systems having much smaller memory capacities than was possible with prior art arrangements since each segment of the Rulebase can be paged into and out of the system as needed. The segmenting of the Rulebase into contextual segments requires that the expert system manage various intersegment relationships as segments are paged into and out of memory during execution of the program. The system permits a Rulebase segment to be called and executed at any time during the processing of the first Rulebase. Provision is made to store the data that has been accumulated up to that point so that at some time later in the process, when the system returns to the first segment, it can proceed from the last point or RULE node that was processed. Provision is made so that data that has been collected by the system up to that point can be passed to the second segment of the Rulebase after it has been paged into the system and data collected during the processing of the second segment can be passed to the first segment when the system returns to complete processing that segment. Since a Rulebase may be "called" by the system, it is not necessary to duplicate the same Rulebase several times to conclude goals about similar but distinct items that are being analyzed.

Abstract: AT9-86-007 A method for use in an expert system which selectively allows the system to avoid asking the user a question by providing the answer to that question based on related information that may have been previously attained in the system. The method involves providing an action attribute that can be attached to any node in the rule tree. The attribute is assigned to a node in the tree which provides an answer to a class question based on processing various other dependent nodes. When the answer is obtained, the action attribute then causes all other Dodes in she rule base referencing the same class question to be set to the same answer. The user is therefore only requested to supply information as a last resort.

Abstract: A CENTRAL PROCESSOR SUPERVISED MACHINE TOOL CONTROLLER SYSTEM HAVING A SIMULATION OF THE TOOL CONTROLLER IN THE CENTRAL PROCESSOR FOR TEST PURPOSES In a system for controlling a machine tool by a tool controller under the supervision of a central data processor, in which the controller transforms the data provided by the central processor into a format compatible with the machine tool, e.g., clock pulse encoded data format suitable for writing into and reading out of a serial storage magnetic memory device, a test system is provided wherein the central processor includes a simulation of the controller. This simulated controller gives the processor the capability of simulating and applying to the tool controller data in a format equivalent to that normally applied to the tool controller from the tool itself, e.g., a clock encoded data read output. The simulated controller also provides the central processor with the capability of receiving from the tool controller a tool control output in the format compatible with the control tool, e.g., clock encoded data and changing said data into an original format usable in the central processor.
