Towards a Verification of the Rule-Based Expert System of the IBM SA for OS/390 Automation Manager

چکیده
We formally verify consistency aspects of the rule-based expert system of IBM’s System Automation software for IBM’s e-server zSeries. Starting with a formalization of the expert system in propositional dynamic logic (PDL), we are able to encode termination and determinism properties. To circumvent direct proofs in PDL or its extension PDL, we further translate versions of the occurring decision problems to propositional logic, where we can apply advanced SAT and BDD techniques. In our experiments we could reveal some inconsistencies and, after correcting them, we successfully verified a non-looping property for a part of the expert system.

متن کاملA Fuzzy Rule-based Expert System for the Prognosis of the Risk of Development of the Breast Cancer
Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...
