Artificial expertise in systems engineering [aerospace systems]

The authors present some conceptual applications and examples for implementing artificial expertise in system development. Systems engineering optimization of computer technology applications can eliminate or redesign engineering processes such that the unified system function focuses on innovation, flexibility, speed, and quality. Artificial expertise for system engineering refers to the application of artificial intelligence expert systems and shared databases to promote the integration of cross-functional engineering groups through technical interchange and control mechanisms. Artificial expertise concepts have been combined with human information processing to develop real-time expert systems providing a foundation for requirements definition, system integration, and requirement verification. Through knowledge and processing function descriptions in terms of abstraction hierarchy, a system state of knowledge and organization has been achieved for specific domains
