# An Inference Net Compiler for the PROSPECTOR Rule-Based Consultation System

Kurt Konolige

*Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*.

## Abstract

A compiler for the production system used in a rule-based consultation system is described. This compiler produces machine code which performs antecedent or data-driven inference in an efficient manner. Timing results and some limitations of the compiler are discussed.
