Dynamic array processing for computationally intensive expert systems in CLIPS

Abstract

This paper puts forth an architecture for implementing a loop for advanced data structure of arrays in CLIPS. An attempt is made to use multi-field variables in such an architecture to process a set of data during the decision making cycle. Also, current limitations on the expert system shells are discussed in brief in this paper. The resulting architecture is designed to circumvent the current limitations set by the expert system shell and also by the operating environment. Such advanced data structures are needed for tightly coupling symbolic and numeric computation modules.
