A production system is applied to contour mapping. The contour map is constructed by the interpolation of the irregularly distributed data, and each contour line of the map is traced clockwise.
In this paper, the production system which consists of the production rule, the induction engine, and module group is presented. The production rule is subdivided into three parts; the rule number, the conditional clause, and the result clause. The conditional clause consists of the conditional proposition and the truth value, and the result clause consists of the result proposition only. The truth value takes the logical symbol either“TRUE”or“FALSE”. The proposition is defined in the form of modular structure. The rule number acts as the module number also.
If the logical value of the conditional clause is “TRUE”, then the result proposition and the rule number in the same rule are selected. Then, to find following rule, the result proposition turn to the conditional proposition, and the module of which number coincides with the rule number executed. The modules in the production system are related with each other by the production rule.
