1. A distributed computer system comprising:
- a first main system and a second main system, both to execute applications in cooperation with a human user; and
a service system to evaluate problems in the first and second main systems, the service system comprising;
a service module configured to collect problem related data from the main systems, the problem related data representing a problem identified about data in at least one of the first or second main systems;
an acquisition module configured to acquire knowledge representations, the knowledge representations defining solution identification rules;
a knowledge module configured to store the knowledge representations; and
an inference module configured to process problem related data with knowledge representations in a sequential order, to identify solutions and forward the solutions through the service module to the main systems, wherein the identified solutions are applied to solve the problems, and wherein the first and second main systems have first and second auxiliary systems, respectively, with auxiliary knowledge representations to evaluate problems in at least one of the first or second main systems and to escalate problem evaluation to the service system, and further wherein the first and second auxiliary systems are adapted to forward, to the service system, preliminary solutions based on the auxiliary knowledge representations when a problem is escalated to the service system.

Abstract
A distributed computer system has a first main system and a second main system that execute applications in cooperation with human users. A service system is an expert system to evaluate problems in the main systems. The main systems have auxiliary systems with to evaluate problems in the main systems and to escalate problem evaluation to the service system. The service system provides expertise for customers 1 and 2 that operate the main system.

11. A method for solving a problem in at least one main computer system by expert systems, comprising:
-
detecting the problem in the main system; processing problem related data with a first set of knowledge representations of a first expert system to search for a solution to identify a first set of search results, the problem related data representing a problem identified about data in the main system, and the first set of knowledge representations defining solution identification rules; depending on processing results, selectively solving the problem by the first expert system or forwarding the problem related data together with the first set of search results to a second expert system with a second set of knowledge representations, wherein the first set of knowledge representations define solution identification rules and the first set of search results comprise preliminary solutions to the problem; processing the problem related data, the first set of search results and the second set of knowledge representations by the second expert system to search for the solution to identify a second set of search results; and depending on processing results, selectively solving the problem by the second expert system or presenting the first and second set of search results and problem related data to a human. - View Dependent Claims (12)
