;;;====================================================== ;;; Circuit Input/Output Simplification Expert System ;;; ;;; This program simplifies the boolean decision ;;; table for a circuit consisting of inputs (SOURCES) ;;; and outputs (LEDs). ;;; ;;; The simplification procedure works as follows: ;;; 1) The connections between components of the ;;; circuit are initialized. ;;; 2) The response of the circuit when all SOURCEs ;;; are set to zero is determined. ;;; 3) Source input values are changed one at a time ;;; and the response of the circuit is determined. ;;; All possible input combinations are iterated ;;; through using a gray code (a number representation ;;; system using binary digits in which successive ;;; integers differ by exactly one binary digit). ;;; For example, the gray code for the numbers 0 to 7 ;;; is 0 = 000, 1 = 001, 2 = 011, 3 = 010, 4 = 110, ;;; 5 = 111, 6 = 101, 7 = 100. By using a gray code, ;;; only one SOURCE has to be changed at a time to ;;; determine the next response in the decision ;;; table (minimizing execution time). ;;; 4) As responses are determined, a rule checks to ;;; see if any two sets of inputs with the same ;;; response differ if a single input. If so, then ;;; the single input can be replaced with a * ;;; (indicating that it does not matter what the ;;; value of the input is given the other inputs). ;;; For example, if the input 0 1 0 gave a response ;;; of 1 0 and the input 0 0 0 gave the same response, ;;; then the decision table can be simplified by ;;; indicating that 0 * 0 gives a response of 1 0. ;;; 5) Once all responses and simplifications have been ;;; determined, the decision table for the circuit is ;;; printed. ;;; ;;; This example illustrates the use of most of the ;;; constructs available in CLIPS 6.0 and also shows how ;;; COOL can be effectively integrated with rules. ;;; Generic functions are used to connect the components ;;; of the circuit during initialization. Classes, ;;; message-handlers, and deffunctions are used to ;;; determine the response of the circuit to a set of ;;; inputs. Rules, deffunctions, and global variables ;;; are used to control execution, iterate through all ;;; possible input combinations, simplify the boolean ;;; decision tree, and print out the simplified decision ;;; tree. ;;; ;;; CLIPS Version 6.0 Example ;;; ;;; To execute, load this file, load one of the circuit ;;; files (circuit1.clp, circuit2.clp, or circuit3.clp), ;;; reset, and run. ;;;====================================================== ;;;*********** ;;;
