Abstract

This paper discusses the application of knowledge based systems technology to problems in nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The Saft Image Interpretation Assistant (SIIA) is used as an illustrative example [1]. SIIA is a prototype knowledge based system designed to assist in making the operation of the Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) Ultrasonic Inspection System more reliable and efficient [2].

This work was supported by the United States Department of Energy under contract DE-AC06-76RLO 1830.
