Abstract
Methods and an arrangement providing improved expert system performance. A mathematically based method is used in building a rule base that guarantees a complete and consistent rule set, providing an aid for identifying missing rules. The method is used in recognizing input variable patterns in parallel to provide rapid inferencing. An arrangement based on the method is given for a content addressable memory capable of returning an address of an executable routine for each rule of a rule set given the system state variables. The method is employed to provide associative program control, in which program control flow adapts to changing system state variables. A method is described for associative database management, using the new content addressable memory arrangement.
