Troubleshooting complex control systems presents special problems for the maintenance technician. Because problems occur infrequently, maintenance or repair work may be requested many months after the technician received training for a particular system. An expert system with an object-oriented programming environment for authoring was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to address this problem. The need to transport the delivery system to a variety of locations necessitated the integration of a transportable, 386-based system with color display. Using Smalltalk/V286, this system combined an inference engine with a windowed environment for development of rules and tutorials and display of documentation. In addition, still-frame video with graphic overlays are used.
