Northeast Artificial Intelligence Consortium Annual Report - 1988. Volume 12. Computer Architectures for Very Large Knowledge Bases
Abstract
The Northeast Artificial Intelligence Consortium (NAIC) was created by the Air Force Systems Command, Rome Air Development Center, and the Office of Scientific Research. Its purpose is to conduct pertinent research in artificial intelligence and to perform activities ancillary to this research. This report describes progress that has been made in the fourth year of the existence of the NAIC on the technical research tasks undertaken at the member universities. The topics covered in general are: versatile expert system for equipment maintenance, distributed AI for communications system control, automatic photointerpretation, and time-oriented problem solving, speech understanding systems, knowledge base maintenance, hardware architectures for very large systems, knowledge-based reasoning and planning, and a knowledge acquisition, assistance, and explanation system. The specific topic for this volume is the development of architectures for very large knowledge bases, especially in light of real-time requests, parallelism and the advent of optical computing. Keywords: Very large knowledge bases; Computer architecture; Data bases; Artificial intelligence; Real time processing; Parallel computing.
