Abstract :
Several expert system applications are being used at the Hughes Aircraft Company´s Electro-Optical and Data Systems Group to aid in the engineering-to-manufacturing cycle of circuit board design and production. The author focuses on the evolution of the Hughes Integrated Classification Software System and its applications. He describes the various versions of the system and the auxiliary support modules; these are a rule-driven graphics generator, a rule-driven file generator, and a route sheet generator
