Abstract
A report is given on an expert system called NOAA, Network Operations Analyzer and Assistant, that manages the Pacific Bell Californian telephone network. Progress towards automatic implementation of expansive controls is complete. Progress towards restrictive controls is partially complete. Comments are made on current research including the use of neural networks for Time Series Prediction.
