Abstract :
ZEX is an expert system which is designed to support operation of the ZEUS experiment. It is based on performance monitoring and offers diagnostic capabilities and instructions on how to proceed running the experiment. System architecture and implementation methods are discussed. A prototype version of the expert system, ZEX-P, has been implemented successfully and is operating since the beginning of 1993. Experience gained in the design and implementation of ZEX-P and first results are reported
