Abstract
A description is given of the expert system parsing environment (ESPE), a system for debugging and testing expert systems written in IBM's expert system development environment (ESDE). ESPE can perform the following operations: count the number of paths between each pair of nodes (parameter-value combinations or rules), split the expert system by focus control block (FCB) and draw the relationships in each section, and perform a sensitivity analysis. The values of any output parameters that might change when a given input parameter changes from one specified value to another are listed. Also input parameters whose value change might cause a given output change are given. ESPE gives the expert system designer some of the software engineering tools used in traditional programming languages.<>
介绍了用IBM专家系统开发环境(ESDE)编写的专家系统调试测试系统——专家系统解析环境(ESPE)。ESPE可以实现以下功能:统计每对节点(参数值组合或规则)之间的路径数,通过FCB (focus control block)对专家系统进行分割并绘制各部分之间的关系,并进行灵敏度分析。列出了当给定输入参数从一个指定值更改为另一个指定值时可能更改的任何输出参数的值。此外,还给出了其值更改可能导致给定输出更改的输入参数。ESPE为专家系统设计人员提供了一些传统编程语言中使用的软件工程工具。
