Abstract: | This paper describes an expert system interface, named (ihs), for the interactive data analysis and system identification program Idpac. The interface works as an intelligent help system. The system is completely noninvasive and uses the previous command history to understand what the user is doing and gives help according to this. This way of monitoring the user's activities is called the command spy strategy. Scripts are used for representing procedural knowledge, and production rules for diagnostic knowledge. The system has been implemented and a knowledge database handling system identification with the maximum-likelihood method has been developed. An example run with the system is included. |
