Abstract
The paper discusses problems of how to structure the knowledge base and to adopt the most appropriate approaches and tools for developing SICONFEX. SICONFEX is a knowledge-based system for the interactive configuration of an operation system for SICOMP computers. It was developed by the expert systems research lab of Siemens, mainly based on an object-oriented approach. The paper’s aim is not to give an comprehensive overview of the system’s structure and development, but rather reflects and discusses some problems we encountered during this phase. These, in our opinion, are problems of a more general character, emerging in designing an expert system in a non-trivial domain.
