KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEMS

THE NEED FOR MUCH HIGHER PERFORMANCE FOR VERY LARGE DATA IS CRITICAL FOR MANY COMMERCIAL AND MILITARY APPLICATIONS. THE RESEARCH EFFORT WILL TEST THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGED OF NEAR TERM 30 MB\SEC, 1-TERABYTE CAPACITY TECHNOLOGY IN OPTICAL DISK MEMORIES. THE EFFORT INCLUDES DEVELOPMENT OF SYNTACTICAL AND SEMANTIC CODES SUITABLE FOR HIGH SPEED PARSING OF OPTICAL SYSTEMS SIMULATIONS MODE WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH WHICH EXPERIMENTS INTO ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURES AND CONFIGURATIONS CAN BE CONDUCTED. BASED UPON THES RESULTS, FOLLOW-UP ENGINEERING COULD RESULT IN A WORKING PROTOTYPE. THE PROJECT FOCUSSES ATTENTION ON THE NEED FOR HIGH CAPACITY DEVICES. WITH HIGH TRANSFER RATES , FOR USE IN KNOWLEDGE-BASED APPLICATIONS.
