Abstract

This paper will discuss some of the issues involved in building an Expert System that embodies tuning rules for IBM's MVS/XA operating system. To understand the components of an Expert System and their functions, PROLOG on an IBM PC (Turbo-PROLOG from Borland International) was chosen as the development environment. The paper will begin by defining the key concepts about Expert Systems, Knowledge Engineering, and Knowledge Acquisition. The reader will be given a brief overview of PROLOG, from which we can explain how an inference mechanism was developed. Finally, the paper will describe the Expert System that was developed, and additionally will provide a set of key issues that should be addressed in the future. It is our overall objective to provide new insight into the application of AI to CPE.
