Design of a Parallel Electro-Optical Rule-based System

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The slow execution speed of current rule-based systems has restricted their application areas. To overcome the speed limitation, an electro-optic rule-based system is proposed. The proposed system uses electronics for the use interface and optics for the inference engine. The proposed system uses two dimensional planes as basic computational entities and is therefore able to provide concurrent rule processing. Furthermore, it provides highly efficient implementation of the basic operations needed in rule-based systems; namely, matching, selection, and rule firing. The execution speed of the proposed system is theoretically estimated and is shown to be potentially of orders of magnitude faster than current electronic systems.
