From: Judy Froscher <froscher@NRL-CSS> REQUEST FOR EXPERT SYSTEMS At NRL, we are working on a research project to develop a software engineering methodology for rule-based expert systems. To gain insight into devising criteria for the separation of knowledge in a production system, we need to statically analyze the structure and connectivity of rules and facts in large, widely used knowledge bases. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has access to a mature production system and is willing to send us a copy of it. Because many of these systems contain proprietary information, we will sign a non-disclosure agreement with any organization whose system we obtain. Since we only care about analyzing the connectivity between rules, the proprietary information can be removed. Any help will be appreciated. Judy Froscher
