Inference Engine - Architecture

Architecture

The separation of inference engines as a distinct software component stems from the typical production system architecture. This architecture relies on a data store,

  1. An interpreter. The interpreter executes the chosen agenda items by applying the corresponding base rules.
  2. A scheduler. The scheduler maintains control over the agenda by estimating the effects of applying inference rules in light of item priorities or other criteria on the agenda.
  3. A consistency enforcer. The consistency enforcer attempts to maintain a consistent representation of the emerging solution.
