CONTINUOUS REAL TIME EXPERT SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER OPERATIONS.

Abstract

An expert system is a computer application which uses explicitly represented knowledge and computational inference techniques to achieve a level of performance comparable to a human expert in some application area or domain. Expert systems have been developed for a variety of domains, such as diagnosing blood diseases, oil drilling, geological exploration and chemical structure determination. The domain of the expert systems that are the subject of this paper is the operation of large computer systems, or more specifically, the operation of one or a cluster of IBM mainframe computers each controlled by the IBM Virtual Storage 2 Multiple Virtual Storage Operating System (OS/VS2 MVS, or simply MVS) We refer to the computing system or cluster being operated as the target system.
