A System for Representing and Using Real-World Knowledge.

Abstract

This report describes a knowledge-base system in which the information is stored in a network of small parallel processing elements--node and link units--which are controlled by an external serial computer. Discussed is NETL, a language for storing real-world information in such a network. A simulator for the parallel network system has been implemented in MACLISP, and an experimental version of NETL is running on this simulator. A number of test-case results and simulated timings will be presented. (Author)
