Abstract

The authors describe the feature of a knowledge-based system which has been prototyped and demonstrated for the USA Office of Energy Emergencies but not yet carried through to the status of a production system. A decision aid has been prototyped in ARITY/Prolog which efficiently guides the microcomputer user through the development of an energy crisis scenario, the available policy options, the action choices, and the legal justifications for such actions. Future directions and motivations for those directions are also discussed
