The Role Of Knowledge-Based Systems In Communications System Control
Robert A. Meyer, Charles Meyer · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1987
The role of knowledge-based systems in communications system control is presented in this paper as a collection of distributed, multiple agent systems serving as intelligent advisors to human controllers. Based on an analysis of system control functions, and interviews with field personnel, we describe a model for communications system control in the Defense Communications System. Us'ing this model we have designed an architecture for a diversely distributed, multiple agent, knowledge-based system. A simulation testbed has been implemented to support experimental development and testing of the components of this architecture in a network of Lisp machines.
