Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the lookup performance of a tree-type knowledge base search. SOLUTION: A decision tree representing a knowledge base is segmented into at least two decision tree portions. The lower portion includes the tree entry point, and is stored in a memory element with a faster access time than the upper portion including the terminating element of the decision tree. Therefore, during the process of reading the tree entries for comparing them with the search object, the search entries in the lower portion of the tree can be read faster than the search entries in the upper portion, and as a result, a faster traversal through the entire decision tree can be realized.
