Configuration Using PLAKON — An Applications Perspective

  • Conference paper
Wissensbasierte Systeme

Part of the book series: Informatik-Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 227))

Abstract

PLAKON is a tool for building Planning and Configuration Expert Systems in technical domains. It is currently being developed and tested within the joint BMFT-project TEX-K. In this paper, an overview of the PLAKON software components is given. The basic mechanisms are explained and exemplified by a typical configuration application, the configuration of Automatic X-ray Inspection Systems. Emphasis is laid on the definition of a taxonomically- and compositionally-structured conceptual hierarchy with formulation of constraints and control knowledge.
