Equipment funds are provided to purchase two Explorer Workstations, two processors, mass storage, one Business Pro Personal Computer, and one Laser Printer. Research in the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies--especially knowledge-based (expert) systems--to engineering will be conducted. These AI technologies will be seen as providing ways to better engineering analysis and design. Three particular research projects will benefit. The first is the development of an expert system to assist architects and engineers as they check building designs to ensure that they meet code requirements, in this case the Life Safety Code of the NFPA. The second project entails a feasibility study of the use of knowledge-based systems as assistants when complicated finite element programs are exercised for both analysis and design. The last project described explores the role of distributed expertise in engineering design through the interaction of concurrently executing expert systems.

提供设备资金购买两个Explorer工作站， 两个处理器、大容量存储器、一台Business Pro个人电脑，以及 一台激光打印机。 人工智能应用研究 智能（AI）技术--特别是基于知识的（专家）技术 系统-工程将进行。 这些AI技术 将被视为提供更好的工程分析方法， 设计 三个特别的研究项目将受益。 第一 是一个专家系统的发展，以协助建筑师和 工程师们检查建筑设计，以确保它们符合 规范要求，在这种情况下是NFPA的生命安全规范。 第二个项目是对使用 在复杂的有限元分析中， 程序被用于分析和设计。 最后一 项目描述探讨了分布式专业知识的作用， 通过并行执行的交互进行工程设计 专家系统
