Methods and Software Implementation of Intelligent Planning for Integrated Expert System Design

Abstract

This work is focused on the topical problem of developing efficient software tools to design intelligent systems, in particular, integrated expert systems (IESs), which have powerful functionality and scalable architecture. Automated planning methods are employed to facilitate IES development at the design and requirement analysis stages. General problems of developing a modern software tool base for IES design are discussed. In this context, the intelligent software environment of the AT-TECHNOLOGY workbench for IES development based on the problem-oriented methodology is described. The problem of planning the IES prototyping process is investigated, which forms the basis for implementing the basic components of the intelligent software environment (intelligent planner and technological knowledge base). An automation method based on heuristic search is proposed. The use of the intelligent software environment is illustrated by the development of a dynamic IES prototype for controlling and planning medical resources in serious road traffic accidents.
