Much of its logical or inferencing capabilities are derived from uses of simulation models in conjunction with numerous procedural specialists. The system also includes a highly tuned structural parser for allowing the student to communicate in natural language. Although the system is extremely large it is sufficiently fast to be thoroughly exercised in a training or classroom environment.
