Abstract :
A description is given of Troubleshooter, a system for diagnosing problems in the Datakit Virtual Circuit Switch networking environment. This system is representative of applications using expert systems as diagnostic tools. Troubleshooter uses software tools from the academic laboratories, most notably OP24 from Carnegie-Mellon University and Franz LISP from the University of California at Berkeley. Extensive laboratory tests has confirmed Troubleshooter´s ability to detect faults.<>
