Zusammenfassung:An expert system (102) for proactively and reactively diagnosing data communication networks (142). The expert system (102) operates according to a landmark data abstraction paradigm and a hypothesis and verification process (2602). The expert system (102) provides for operator interaction and control. The expert system (102) includes a black board (202), modules (214) for processing questions, a facilitator (208), and a user interface (250). The expert system (102) also includes a knowledge base (236) having forward rules for hypothesizing network problems and backward rules for verifying the hypothesized network problems.
