Abstract
A method is disclosed for converting both a knowledge base and an inferencing technique into compilable program code forming a knowledge based system. The method is based on determining what actions an interpretitive inference engine would take with the specific knowledge base and generating only the program code needed to perform these actions. These method eliminates the overhead of interpreting a representation of the knowledge base and significantly improves performance of the system. The method is applicable to both forward and backward chaining reasoning strategies and does not modify or restrict the functional capabilities of the knowledge based system.
