A Prototype Expert System for Technical Order Acquisition

Abstract

This research resulted in a prototype expert system for technical order (TO) acquisition. The prototype was built using VP-EXPERT and runs on the Zenith Z-248 microcomputer. The output of the prototype system consists of the contractual documentation for a TO program: verbiage for the Statement of Work, Contract Data Requirements List items, and tailoring of sections two and three of the Technical Manual Contract Requirements 86-01. The research focused on the following six areas: the applicability of expert system technology to TO acquisition tasks; The required resources, participants, goals, and problem characteristics for the prototype; the key concepts and relations of the selected domain of TO acquisition; the appropriate knowledge representation scheme and development tool; the required data structures and control strategies, and the competency and utility of the system.
