Knowledge-based design of LANs using system entity structure concepts
Jerzy W. Rozenblit, Süleyman Sevinç, Bernard P. Zeigler · 1986
The paper illustrates an application of knowledge based system design concepts to design of local area networks. A system entity structure representation of a local area network (LAN) is developed. This representation unifies a variety of possibilities for LAN design architecture. In a design session, the LAN design domain is subsequently restricted by pruning the entity structure with respect to network design objectives. A LAN model is then synthesized using a production rule scheme. The benefit of the knowledge-based LAN design is briefly discussed.
