Abstract

We have developed a prototype system which explains the structure and behavior of electronic circuits to assist electrical engineers. This system analyzes the structure of the given circuit and generates explanations of its operation. In our system, circuits are viewed as sentences, and their elements as words, in a word-order-free language. Knowledge of circuit structures is coded as grammar rules. Using these grammar rules, the given circuit is parsed and explanations are generated from the result of the parse.
