Abstract
An expert system selects a computer solution from a set of predefined, proven solution to meet a specific need. Each of the predefined solutions comprises a plurality of hardware platforms and associated software, and a communication facility between the hardware platforms. The system identifies and directs display of a multiplicity of different characteristics of computer solutions within the set. Then, the user selects one of the characteristics to reduce the number of possible solutions from the set. In response, the system may then display other characteristics which can be selected to further reduce the number of possible solutions from those identified after the one characteristic was selected. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, this narrowing process always results in one or more solutions from the set; there are no 'dead ends'. After the last characteristic is selected, the system identifies and directs display of a final subset of the set corresponding to the selected characteristics.
