Abstract

Rules in expert system have meaning of assigning never-happen-minterms. Overall logical relations of variables can be achived by making all prime implicants of never-happen-minterms. From prime implicants, two tables, which are necessary in the process of inference, are constructed. There are two inferencing modes. One excutes inference only one variable which the user is interested in, and the other excutes inference all variables simultaneously. Outputs of inference have not only 'true' or 'false' but also 'unknown' which is different from conventional expert system. In this paper, an efficient approach is presented, which can check logical inconsistency in knowledge base and contradiction between input facts and rules. The methods in the paper may be available in the field of diagnosis and alarm processing.
