Some issues of control in expert systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5361793
Because of the nature of the problem-solving domains in which expert systems operate, there are usually choices about what to do next. Many different rules are potentially useful to extend the current solution state. The control problem is to select the rule or rules that most likely will lead to acceptable behaviour. For many years, workers in artificial intelligence have tried to duck the control problem by compiling both control and application knowledge into the same large-grained rules. However, the desire to build systems that work in larger domains, fail softly at the boundaries of their competence, and are able to explain their behavior, puts the importance of the control problem into sharp focus. 18 references.
