Using artificial intelligence in communication system design

The authors describe a knowledge-based design support system, called KDSS, that will help designers inexperienced in communication system design easily create advanced systems like intelligent networks, and large-scale distributed computing systems. They began by designing a support system for protocol and communication software. They then experimented with applying expert-system technology in design support systems and developed an expert system for protocol synthesis called KSPS. An expert system for protocol and communication software design that is based on the earlier work is also part of KDSS.<
