We further point out that one of the requirements in such an environment is the capability of interfacing with very large volume of factual information. The paper presents a framework for optimization in coupling an expert system and a database management system (DBMS) in such a way to satisfy this requirement. We adopt a loose coupling strategy as a practical solution allowing utilization of an existing DBMS. Specifically, it presents the technique of normalizing the logic query, implementation primitives, and the set of access strategies as mappings between the normalized primitives and implementation primitives. These techniques are discussed in the context of an expert system shell, SQL Inference Engine for Network Applications (SIENA), being developed at IBM research. The authors believe that these techniques provide significant insights into the issues in merging expert systems and database technologies.} } @article{Frieder89, author = {Frieder, Ophir and Herman, {Gary E.}}, journal = {IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications}, key = {Frider89}, month = apr, number = {3}, pages = {324-334}, title = "{Protocol Verification Using Database Technology}", volume = {7}, year = {1989}, Comments = { We describe a novel application of database technologies in communication networks: {\it protocol verification} on a {\it partial database machine}. We introduce an approach to protocol verification that exploits the database algorithms executing on a commercially available, parallel architecture called a hypercube multicomputer. With this approach, we seek to achieve the high degree of computational parallelism necessary to explore rapidly the global-state space of even very complex protocols, significantly reducing the time required to verify a protocol and allowing formal verification to be included as a part of the process of protocol design. Our approach is based on the relational database algorithms for a hypercube system and the relational algebra approach to verify finite-state protocols. } } @article{Mays91, author = {Mays, Eric and Lanka, Sitaram and Dionne, Bob and Weida, Robert}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering}, key = {Mays91}, month = mar, number = {1}, pages = {33-41}, title = "{A Persistent Store for Large Shared Knowledge Bases}", volume = {3}, year = {1991}, notice = {[Comments not yet ready]} } @article{Murakami89, author = {Murakami, Koso and Katoh, Masafumi}, journal = {IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications}, key = {Murakami89}, month = apr, number = {3}, pages = {418-423}, title = "{Control Architecture for Next-Generation Communication Networks Based on Distributed Databases}", volume = {7}, year = {1989}, comments ={The development of intelligent routing control systems has become increasingly important, both for using network resources efficiently and making new and advanced services attractive to users. Intelligent routing control is defined here as the process in which the network interrogates the databases containing the relationships between logical numbers, such as personal or information identifiers, and physical addresses in the transport network to find the terminal having the information required to process a user request. Our routing control system uses distributed databases, each of which manages a switching system and all of which are connected through high-speed signaling networks separate from the transport network. If the requested physical address cannot be found in one database, search requests are distributed at the same time to all other databases. For up to 100 million subscribers, the routing control system can find a physical address within 1 s when each database uses 10 memories accessed at 100 ns with an interdatabase linkage speed of 14 Mbits/s.} } @article{Sunshine90, author = {Sunshine, {Carl A.}}, journal = {IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications}, key = {Sunshine90}, month = jan, number = {1}, pages = {4-11}, title = {{N}etwork {I}nterconnection and {G}ateways}, volume = {8}, year = {1990}, Comments ={As computer networks proliferate, the imprtance of interconnecting networks increases. Major technical issues that must be solved include selection of a protocol level at which to interconnect, addressing, routing, fragmentation and congestion control. Often, a specialized {\it gateway} device is used to interconnect networks and implement any necessary internet protocols. Two leading alternatives have been developed by the DRAPA Internet community (datagram internet protocol) and by the CCITT for public data networks (concatenation of virtual circuits). The new ISO standards encompass both approaches, but providing interoperability between them is still a problem.} } @article{Corkill91, author = {Corkill, {Daniel D.}}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering}, key = {Corkill91}, month = mar, number = {1}, pages = {18-24}, title = "{Embedable Problem-Solving Architectures: A Study of Integrating OPS5 with UMass GBB}", volume = {3}, year = {1991}, comments={Typically, AI shells have a Ptolemaic view of their universe. Although some shells provide advanced interfacing capabilities and others can be embedded within a conventional application, most cannot be easily integrated as closely-coupled components of a larger problem-solving system. This paper discusses the requirements of a problem-solving architecture that can : be tightly embedded within other architectures and coexist with multiple instances of itself and of other problem-solvers. The additional effort needed to produce and embedable problem-solving architecture is minor, compared to the substantial increase in applicability of the architecture. A specific need for embedable problem-solvers arose with the UMass Generic Blackboard Framework (UMass GBB). UMass GBB is based on the blackboard paradigm, which naturally integrates heterogeneous problem-solving representations as individual knowledge sources (KS's). In principle, in UMass GBB, a KS can be written using any embedded AI shell. Thus, this need was pursued by developing general specifications for embedable problem-solving architectures, and then the specifications were used to modify the public-domain version of OPS5 in order to embed it as an integral KS language within UMass GBB.} } @article{Mannes91, author = {Mannes, Suzanne M. and Doane, Stephanie M.}, journal = {Connection Science}, key = {Mannes91}, number = {1}, pages = {61-87}, title = "{A Hybrid Model of Script Generation: or Getting the Best from Both worlds}", volume = {3}, year = {1991}, comments = {This paper describes some experimental work on hybrid model of (with symbolic and connectionist) scripts.

Integration of advanced AI technology into existing and future network management systems may resolve some of the difficulties. This paper describes a preliminary network management prototype that is based on the cooperation of two components. A Network Monitoring and Control System (NMCS), which exploits advanced database management, graphics and man/machine interfcing techniques, is used for data collection and status evaluation. The second component is a Rule-Based Expert System that uses its acquired expert knowledge to recommend appropriate control actions to alleviate the effects of network stresses detected by the NMCS. Preliminary results demonstrate the validity of the above concept. Future research will expand the scope of this prototype and will develop an organizational multiple network management systems. Both hierarchical and non-hierarchical organizations will be considered.} } @article{Robrock91, author = {Robrock II, Richard B.}, journal = {Proceedings of the IEEE}, key = {Robrock91}, month = jan, number = {1}, pages = {7-20}, title = "{The Intelligent Network-Changing the Face of Telecommunications}", volume = {79}, year = {1991}, comments={With the 1984 divestiture of the Bell Operating Companies from AT\&T, the newly formed Regional Operating Companies embarked upon a program to deploy on infrastucture for new service offerings--an infrastructure called the ``Intelligent Network.'' This network is changing the face of telecommunications by allowing new services to be deployed quickly and ubiquity and service uniformity. The first services on the new regional Intelligent Networks were Data Base 800 (free phone) Service and Calling Card Service, and today, these regional networks are handling millions of 800 number and Calling Cards per day. This papaer traces the realization of the Intelligent Network concept, first in the former Bell System in the early 1980's, and subsequently in the Regional Operating Companies, post divestiture. It describes the history of common channel signalling and the introduction of 800 Service, Calling Card Service and Private Virtual Network Service. It introduces the familiy of network nodes and operations systems that are the major players in the Intelligent Network and suggests their potential application for a wealth of new voice, data, and video services. Finally, it describes the next generation of the Intelligent Network, called the Advanced Intelligent Network, which through its service creation capabilities holds out a promise for rapid service development and a cornucopia of new customized services.} } @INCOLLECTION{Bond88, AUTHOR = "Alan H.
