Question 19
RULE BASED EXPERT SYSTEMS
A Rete Net for a rule based system to identify engines, turbines and motors is shown in the figure. BoM refers to Bill-of-Materials, which is a list of parts and their quantities needed for assembling a machine.
The nodes in the network are uniquely identified by labels: A1,A2,... for Alpha nodes; B1,B2,... for beta nodes; R1,R2,... for rules.
The Working Memory contains the following WMEs uniquely identified by timestamps (sequence numbers). Assume that WMEs reside in the appropriate Alpha node, and Beta nodes simply point to elements in the ancestor Alpha nodes.
The sub-questions are based on the first Match-Resolve-Execute cycle. Determine the locations of the WMEs and compute the conflict set, then answer the sub-questions.
Which of the following rule-data tuples occur in the conflict set?
(Diesel-Engine, 101, 107)
(Petrol-Engine, 107, 102)
(Engine, 107)
(Single-Phase-Motor, 105, 104)
(Motor, 104)
(Motor, 106)
