A prototype expert system which assigns aviation maintenance personnel to squadron billets

The technical feasibility of developing an expert system to support the assignment of squadron maintenance personnel to authorized billets is examined by building a prototype system. The rules used by an assistant maintenance officer to assign personnel are analyzed, and a database derived from the OPNAV 1000/2 and EDVR is designed. The prototype is developed for a micro-computer system using an expert system shell, Insight 2+, and is fully integrated with dBase III files.
