Abstract :
A formulation of the cable plant design problem using artificial intelligence and expert system techniques is described. The knowledge of the design engineer is captured in an interactive expert system. Such an expert system has been designed and implemented to provide the network designer with a tool to design the broadband cable plant. The design includes the knowledge representation for the cable plant components and design rules. The system is coded in Turbo PROLOG and executes on an IBM PC. The functional expert system parts include a user interface, inference engine and control, design knowledge base and graphics system. A user can provide an initial problem file or modify an existing one
