Abstract
An expert system to assist in the diagnosis of failures on VLSI memories is presented. This expert system, using Prolog and implemented on an IBM PS/2, is intended to assist low-skilled people in finding and analyzing the faulty blocks responsible for the failures, as well as the data sheet parameters, which are sensitive. After a review of the requirements which dictated this technical choice, the expert system is described in detail. The level of performance is discussed, along with possible extensions
