R1: a rule-based configurer of computer systems
TL;DR: R1 is a program that configures VAX-11/780 computer systems and uses Match as its principal problem solving method; it has sufficient knowledge of the configuration domain and of the peculiarities of the various configuration constraints that at each step in the configuration process, it simply recognizes what to do.
About: This article is published in Artificial Intelligence.The article was published on 1982-09-01. It has received 1001 citations till now. The article focuses on the topics: Configuration Management (ITSM) & Knowledge-based configuration.

TL;DR: Uni-Rete is a specialization of the widely used Rete match algorithm to unique attributes that indicates over tenfold speedup with respect to Rete.
Abstract: A specialized match algorithm called Uni-Rete is reported. Uni-Rete is a specialization of the widely used Rete match algorithm to unique attributes. Performance results for Uni-Rete indicate over tenfold speedup with respect to Rete. The implications of Uni-Rete for non-unique-attribute systems are discussed. >

08 Aug 1983TL;DR: The expert system can synthesize the results of previous analysis with the models and the criteria of experts and it can be used on real time linked with an information system including rain intensity data and water levels at control points.
Abstract: This paper presents an outline on the design of an expert system aimed at helpingdecision makers to operate flood control dams and to plan civil defense in flood prone.
The problem is first described and the need for an expert system is justified by the complexity of land use in the area as well as the difficulty to use simulation models on time for prediction of damages and for the analysis of the best control decisions.The expert system can synthesize the results of previous analysis with the models and the criteria of experts and it can be used on real time linked with an information system including rain intensity data and water levels at control points.
The contents of the data base of the information system,and the general specification of the different types of rules are presented.
Finally, the general methodology for the definition of the rules based on the artificial experience created by a program of runs of the differents models for representation of hydraulic behavior is discussed.
The project is now under study by the Spanish Ministry of Public Works.

TL;DR: A rule-based expert system for troubleshooting and repairing of electrical machines, which has been developed and tested at the National Technical University of Athens, can be used by industries and universities for engineering and educational purposes.
Abstract: The authors describe a rule-based expert system for troubleshooting and repairing of electrical machines. Empirical rules are used to help the user to find and repair any known fault for any electrical machine. An interactive methodology is implemented for fast and safe data interchange between computer and user, using tree menus. The expert system, which has been developed and tested at the National Technical University of Athens, can be used by industries and universities for engineering and educational purposes. >

TL;DR: In this paper, a computer aided facility planning (CAFP) methodology is reviewed and revised to satisfy the new requirements by expert system's capabilities, and a prototype of facility planning expert system is specified and illustrated.
Abstract: New requirements for facility planning/replanning in programmable production are presented. A computer aided facility planning (CAFP) methodology is reviewed and revised to satisfy the new requirements by expert system's capabilities, and a prototype of facility planning expert system is specified and illustrated.

TL;DR: The technological developments in the field starting from the first expert systems of the late 1970s down to today’s configuration solutions are outlined.
Abstract: Nearly 40-years of configuration technologies motivated us to give this brief overview of the main configuration technological streams. We outline the technological developments in the field starting from the first expert systems of the late 1970s down to today’s configuration solutions. The vastness and intricacies of the configuration field makes it impossible to cover concisely all of its relevant aspects. For the purpose of this overview, we decided to focus on the following four different yet overlapping technological developments: (1) rule-based configurators, (2) early model-based configurators, (3) mainstream configuration environments, and (4) mass customization toolkits.

22 Aug 1977TL;DR: Some of the issues that bear on the design of production system languages are explored and the adequacy of OPS is tried to show for its intended purpose.
Abstract: It has been claimed that production systems have several advantages over other representational schemes. These include the potential for general self-augmentation (i.e., learning of new behavior) and the ability to function in complex environments. The production system language, OPS, was implemented to test these claims. In this paper we explore some of the issues that bear on the design of production system languages and try to show the adequacy of OPS for its intended purpose.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the role of conflict resolution in providing support for production systems designed to function and grow in environments that make large numbers of different, sometimes competing, and sometimes unexpected demands.
Abstract: Production systems designed to function and grow in environments that make large numbers of different, sometimes competing, and sometimes unexpected demands require support from their interpreters that is qualitatively different from the support required by systems that can be carefully hand crafted to function in constrained environments. In this chapter we explore the role of conflict resolution in providing such support Using criteria developed here, we evaluate both individual conflict resolution rules and strategies that make use of several rules.
