Abstract

Expert System (ES) is a kind of software that simulates the problem-solving behavior of a human expert of given domain. ES can be used to solve a complex problem or give an advice, mainly in cases when the amount of data to be processed is very high. There is no sense to apply ESs for simple decision problems, they should be used wherever a conventional data processing (DP) solution is not possible or may appear troublesome. Referring to Fig. 14.1 one can say that instead of traditional DP by algorithmic, well-defined methods, expert systems perform processing of knowledge and make intelligent searches.
