An Expert System Based Approach to Internal Combustion Engine Experimentation

Artificial intelligence and experimental design techniques have been applied to internal combustion engine testing. The integration of these technologies resulted in a computer based system nonexperts can use to design efficient test strategies. The user may select standard tests and design two-level full factorial and half-fraction experiments.

The Engine Experimentation System is an expert system that is easy to use, maintain, and enhance. It was implemented using the IBM Expert System Environment (trademark by IBM Corporation) software product.
