Abstract

The concepts used in designing HardSys, a simple expert system capable of reasoning about EMI problems, are described. These are then evaluated by running the expert system on a test case previously analyzed by an EMI consultant. The test case was a subset of the NEMP (nuclear electromagnetic pulse) hardening of a typical military helicopter. The knowledge representation used in HardSys is of a fuzzy nature and it is this fuzziness which the authors evaluate. It is concluded that the present knowledge representation is a very powerful tool for EMI engineers
