Implementing a Production-Rule-Based Programming System through a General-Purpose Data-Flow VL

چکیده
The main aim of this paper is to investigate how the production-rule-based computational paradigm can be implemented through visual data-flow techniques. Since building production rules solving a problem may be a difficult task for an unskilled beginner programmer and a textual-only rule representation may not turn out to be very intuitive, we propose a simple yet effective system for visually composing rule preconditions and actions, through a general purpose data-flow visual language. This system, which is primarily intended as a learning tool, can greatly simplify the programmer’s task and speed up the implied reasoning process. Moreover, it allows production-rule-based programs to be easily integrated within more general applications.
