ESP: An Expert System For Computer Performance Management
Andrew P. Levine · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1986
ESP is a prototype Expert System that advises on the computer performance management of IBM MVS installations. Its goals are to increase the productivity of experienced performance analysts and expertly advise newcomers to the field. This paper discusses ESP's domain of application, required inputs, design philosophy, and overall architecture. ESP has been operational about a year. Although it is an experimental system that requires more testing, its initial success demonstrates the potential of Expert System technology to computer performance management.
