Abstract
A unique advisory system is developed for machining processes. It is unique in using analytical and simulation models for the induction of rules, rules which must otherwise be generated from experiments. These rules are combined with heuristic rules for inferring optimal machining parameters. The utility and accuracy of the process models are illustrated and the architecture of the advisory system is described. Also described are its capability to incorporate other application programs through functions, regardless of the programming language, and to address constraints in decision making. Face milling is described as a specific application.
