SAPT―Knowledge-based capp system

Abstract The system for automatic programming technology (SAPT system) is a part of the designer-expert system. The new developments in artificial intelligence are promising for design and use knowledge-based expert systems. For a manufacturing process planning knowledge base, the method of knowledge representation and reasoning strategy are given. GT and TT concepts are discussed in detail from a KB approach. Production rules are given for knowledge sources, tasks and meta-knowledge. For two real life, examples, a LISP-program has been written and executed. The results obtained are encouraging and further research is in progress.
