METHOD FOR OPERATING A REAL-TIME EXPERT SYSTEM IN A GRAPHICAL PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT

A method is disclosed for operating a real-time multirate and discrete even computer system for simulation and automatic code generation of modelled systems requiring both expert system technology and conventional algorithms. Simulation of a system to be modelled proceeds on data inputs to yield outputs as responses of the simulated system to data inputs for assembling an organized catalog of blocks, both conventional and expert system, based on the operational rates and time skews. These blocks can be assembled for automatic code generation so that all blocks operating with identical rates and time skews can be organized within a single subsystem. Code is then generated for each subsystem, including code for a scheduler to run the entire system thus modelled. Each expert system block generates its own inference engine, and set of parameters representing the knowledge base, and storage allocation for the data base.
