Expert System for Measuring, Interpreting, and Managing System PerformanceFactors for the Work Information Management System

摘要

This study develops an expert system for measuring, interpreting, and managingthe Wang VS operating system performance factors for the Work Information Management System. The system's performance concerns least known to system administrators are identified. Of these, SHARER buffers and VTOC cache are identified as factors that can significantly impact system performance with little effort. A six step process is used in developing the expert system. Concept maps representing the structure of the Wang VS Disk Input/Output problem domain are provided. The expert system provides information about the system parameters, SHARER buffers and VTOC cache, and recommends main memory allocations. The expert system is particularly useful to inexperienced system administrators. Sample executions of the system are provided.
