MES: an expert system for reusing models of transmission equipment

The modeling expert system (MES) aids in the generation of models for transmission equipment (unit) by reusing the models of existing transmission equipment. The concept of model reuse is based on clones. An existing model is said to be a base model for generating a clone (the model of a unit), if the transmission characteristics of the two models are similar but not identical. The 'clone' determination/generation knowledge for a few equipment families has been captured in MES. The models of the transmission equipment are presently written in PL/I programming language. MES is written in OPS5 and Franz Lisp, and runs under AT&T Unix.<<ETX>>
