Research Abstract

This study aims to design a small, computer-aided system which helps to estimate formative processes of a geological terrane and its bearing mineral resources through field geological and experimental data, and to evaluate the possibility for more general and practical use. For this purpose, we made three approaches : (1) making and evaluating a rule-based system which consults on a small, practical problem if field geology (bottom-up approach) ; (2) designing a system which treats a general problem in estimating formative processes of geological terrane and its bearing mineral resources(top-down approach) : (3) making a bottom-ended tool for inputting and analyzing observational data. As for approach (1), we made a rule-based expert system, which helps a user to estimate a mode of emplacement of volcaniclastic rocks. For developing this, we used an expert shell Intelligent developer (Hyperpress Publishing Corp.) and completed a system Volcaniclast, which can at least be used in education of field volcanology for undergraduate students. Concerning approach (2), we systematically reorganized available knowledge of formative processes of a geological terrane and its bearing uranium resources and designed a frame-structured knowledge-based system. We also incorporated knowledge of a real uranium mine into the system and clarified the validity and problems of the system. In approach (3), we constructed a system which can read digital data of geomorphology using a digitizer and analyze surface area, volume, and slope. Through all these approaches, we accumulated significant know-how for developing a large system which reast general purposes in exploring geology and mineral resources.
