Translating a knowledge base into HTML

Abstract

The problem treated in this paper is the slow response of inference engines, especially in a multi-user environment. In this paper, we present a solution that caches all the possible answers to all the possible consultations, by means of translating the entire knowledge base into a set of HTML documents. We prove that the consumption of memory in this case is acceptable (depends linearly on the number of rules in the initial knowledge base), and that the translational algorithm has polynomial complexity. This solution outperforms any other possible solution, since in this case the infering time becomes equal to zero.
