Abstract

The development of a simple yet powerful expert system development facility is described. It is implemented in a version of a CACSD package called SFPACK. SFPACK is written in C and FORTRAN, and it has the same command language as MATLAB. Like MATLAB or MATRIXx, it uses FORTRAN subroutines from Linpack and Eispack for numerical computations. Facilities for developing user-defined functions and procedures are also provided. The success of MATLAB is mainly due to its powerful and very expressive command language interface. The MATLAB-type command language syntax is the backbone of the development. The MATLAB-derived control environment is extended with the incorporation of expert system tools, and a rich and integrated environment for the user is provided. An expert system development facility called DECESS is provided, and the coupling of symbolic and numerical processing is carried out in a natural way
