Rule-based Expert system using Fuzzy technique inferences various rules by user's input condition and the most proper control signal. This system can lose objectivity by input condition which depends on user's decision. This paper can solve those problems by adding case-based system's technique. The traffic signal control expert system is proposed to store the cases based on the statistics, days, seasons and various circumstances and use them.

The purpose of this thesis addresses a development of an expert system to support a decision making of the vender selection. The researches related to the vender selection problems have been studied and they provide 23 criteria to select proper venders. In this thesis, 8 criteria have been used to construct a knowledge base of the expert system. The system in this thesis consists of 6 steps in its procedure. Step 1 decides a specification that satisfies customer's needs and Step 2 chooses a part supplied by a vender. The type of an outside order is decided in Step 3 and some venders satisfying the customer's needs are selected in Step 4. Some of the venders chosen from step 4 which do not satisfy the fatal cirteria(that is Quality, Delivery, Price) can be deleted in Step 5. In the last step, 8 cirteria is used to select 3 venders according to their ranking. Consequently, this program provides for a man, who does not have the experiances, an efficient way to select appropriate venders in the vender selection problems.

An expert scheduling system on real time basis for computer-aided manufacturing systems has been developed. In developing expert scheduling system, the most time-consuming job is to obtain rules from expert schedulers. An efficient process of obtaining rules directly form the schedules produced by expert schedulers is proposed. By the process, a set of complete and minimal set of rules is obtained. During a real time scheduling, when given information on possible values of elements, the rules produce possible values of decision elements, where logical explanations of the result may be offered in terms of chaining rules. The learning and scheduling processes have been simulated with an automated manufacturing line engaged in the production of circuit boards.

This paper proposes an expert system which can determine automatically the shunting routes corresponding to the given shunting works by considering totally the train operating environments in the station. The expert system proposes the multiple shunting routes with priority of selection based on heuristic search strategy. Accordingly, system operator can select a shunting route with the safety and efficiency among the those shunting routes. The expert system consists of a main inference engine and a sub inference engine. The main inference engine determines the shunting routes with selection priority using the segment routes obtained from the sub inference engine. The heuristic rules are extracted from operating knowledges of the veteran route operator and station topology. It is implemented in C computer language for the purpose of the implementation of the inference engine using the dynamic memory allocation technique. And, the validity of the builted expert system is proved by a test case for the model station.

GDS (Grating automatic Drawing System), which is automatic design system of metal products called grating, is a system that produces various detailed drawings on the basis of information within a Plan Drawing that represents layout of the gratings such as locations, shapes, directions, etc However, automatically produced drawings by GDS do not fully satisfy the standard of the general dimension marking method used among the layout designers. The lack of this standard quality mainly results from the fact that overlapping among dimension markings appears frequently. To solve the overlapping problem we applied the rule-based expert system. The rules for the expert system are designed based on the expertise of skilled layout designers within the grating production lines.

This paper focuses on finding out visualization process by means of VTA(Visual Task Analysis) of expert teachers' simple task. Findings indicate teachers have coding schema of performing visual task as such; (a) the analyzing by reading and some activities in the task text, (b) conceptualizing or understanding in his/her own way, (c) the explaining of the action or product, (d) the searching by thinking or finding, (e) the decision of visualizing of the task. Expert teachers tried to visualize in the form of abstract graph, and to omit the object which was not directly related to the topic at the pilot study. VAT based on ground theory and protocol analysis was developed and performed. This case study suggests that an additional study for searching a guide and method might be beneficial for conducting a visual task analysis.

This report contains information about "System Selection Assistant"(SSA) - Program, which can help customers of manufacturing company to select optimal electro-mechanical system for their purposes. This Program shows main principles of programs, which can help to make decision, using knowledge of experts. Program consists of two main parts: "Expert's part" must be tuned by expert and "Customer's part" can be used to make final decision about optimal parts of system. This report describes all parts of SSA program and shows simple example of selection parts of electro-mechanical system.

Within a mechanical system such as an automotive the number of standard machine parts is increasing, so that the parts selection becomes more important than ever before. Selection of appropriate bearings in the preliminary design phase of a machine is also important. In this paper, three decision-making approaches are compared to find out a model that is appropriate to bearing selection problem. An artificial neural network, which is trained with real design cases, is used to select a bearing mechanism at the first step. Then, the subtype of the bearing is selected by the weighting factor method. Finally, types of peripherals such as lubrication methods are determined by a rule-based expert system.

Selection procedures of earth retention systems are increasingly complex and directly related to the serviceability of the retaining structure selection systems since significant changes in earth retention technology motivates the review of design, and selection processes of earth retaining structures. Collection and classification of retaining structure selection knowledge are key issues because two expert groups, geotechnical and structural engineers, are mainly involved in the retaining structure selection. The course of natural tendency of expert knowledge are investigated considering the decision factors. The decision factors for selecting retaining structures are divided into four categories: application of the structure, and spatial, behavior, and economic constraints.

This paper presents a rule extraction algorithm RE to acquire explicit rules from trained neural networks. The validity of extracted rules has been confirmed using 6 different data sets. Based on experimental results, we conclude that extracted rules from RE predict more accurately and robustly than neural networks themselves and rules obtained from an inductive learning algorithm do. Rule extraction algorithm for neural networks are important for incorporating knowledge obtained from trained networks into knowledge based systems. In lieu of this, the proposed RE algorithm contributes to the trend toward developing hybrid and versatile knowledge-based system including expert systems and knowledge-based decision su, pp.rt systems.
