Assessing the Maintainability of XCON-in-RIME: Coping with the Problems of a VERY Large Rule-Base
نویسندگان
چکیده
XCON is a rule-based expert system that configures computer systems. Over 7 years, XCON has grown to 6,200 rules, of which approximately 50% change every year. While the performance of XCON is satisfactory, it is increasingly becoming more difficult to change. With the goal of facilitating maintenance, DEC has developed a new rule-based language, RIME, in which the successor to XCON, XCON-in-RIME, is being written. This paper evaluates the potential for enhanced maintainability of XCON-in-RIME over XCON.

The ultimate goals of the monetary policy are price stability and the output growth. Monetary policy instruments are interest rate and the growth rate of monetary base. One of the well-known rules in conducting monetary policy is Taylor rule, through which, central banks change the interest rate while taking into account the output and inflation distortions. There are two problems with applyi...
متن کاملFault Detection of Bearings Using a Rule-based Classifier Ensemble and Genetic Algorithm
This paper proposes a reduct construction method based on discernibility matrix simplification. The method works with genetic algorithm. To identify potential problems and prevent complete failure of bearings, a new method based on rule-based classifier ensemble is presented. Genetic algorithm is used for feature reduction. The generated rules of the reducts are used to build the candidate base...
