AID FOR AUTOMATED DESIGN SYNTHESIS

The expert system called EXADS was developed to aid users of the Automated
Design Synthesis (ADS) general purpose optimization program. Because of
the general purpose nature of ADS, it is difficult for a nonexpert to
select the best choice of strategy, optimizer, and one-dimensional search
options from the one hundred or so combinations that are available. EXADS
aids engineers in determining the best combination based on their
knowledge of the problem and the expert knowledge previously stored by
experts who developed ADS. EXADS is a customized application of the AESOP
artificial intelligence program (the general version of AESOP is available
separately from COSMIC. The ADS program is also available from COSMIC.)

The IBM PC version of EXADS is written in IQ-LISP for execution under DOS
2.0 or higher with a central memory requirement of approximately 512K of 8
bit bytes. This program was developed in 1986.
