Abstract
In this chapter, we extend the architecture of any modern electronic switching system with its three software controlled hardware modules (communication, switching, and administrative) to process information unlike either the call processing of switching systems or the data processing of conventional computer systems. Instead, we add an additional module (a “knowledge module”) for performing knowledge-oriented functions. The functions of the other three modules are also altered to satisfy the true needs of processing knowledge in the sense that the human mind processes knowledge. Specialized functions, such as those of the service control points, service management systems, intelligent peripherals, and service creation environments within the intelligent networks (INs), are incorporated for storing the knowledge profile, maintaining and updating knowledge bases, using specialized compilers to ask a cascaded series of questions, and creating new knowledge induction for the knowledge machine (KM).
