Abstract
The Power Management and Distribution System (PMAD) Prototype utilizes a
computer graphics interface with a computer expert system running transparent to
the user and a computer communications interface that links the two together, all
enabling the diagnosis of PMAD system faults. The prototype design is based on
the concept that an astronaut on a space station will instruct an expert system
through a graphics interface to run a system or component check on the PMAD
system. The graphics interface determines which type of evaluations was requested
and sends that information through the communications interface to the expert
system. The expert system receives the information and, based on the type of
evaluation requested, executes the appropriate rules in the knowledge base and
sends the resulting status back to the graphics interface and the astronaut. The
PMAD System Prototype serves as a proposed training tool for NASA to use in the
training of new personnel who will be designing and developing the NASA Space
Station expert systems.
