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,
- An interpreter. The interpreter executes the chosen agenda items by applying the corresponding base rules.
- 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.
- A consistency enforcer. The consistency enforcer attempts to maintain a consistent representation of the emerging solution.
