| Abstract: | The emergence of knowledge-based expert systems provide means with which one can use the computer as an aid to the solution of an ill-structured problem. Expert systems are interactive computer programs based on heuristics, incorporating judgement, rules of thumb, intuition and expertise to provide knowledgeable advice about variety of tasks. Such specialized interactive computer programs can broadly be classified as (1) identifying the relevant design knowledge, (2) providing a formalism for representing and processing the knowledge and (3) implementing the formalism in a computer environment. While the first issue of identifying the relevant knowledge is through knowledge acquisition from various domain experts and verification of the same by other domain experts. The second issue is proper formalism for the varied knowledge requiring the use of logics (prepositional calculus) as a symbolic language; heuristics or rules of thumb wherever necessary and a suitable reasoning methodology... |
