Abstract
It is often claimed that an important aspect of expert systems is the ability to explain their behavior. This means the user can ask the system for justification of conclusions or questions at any point in a consultation with an expert system. The system usually responds with the rules that were used for the conclusion, or the rules being considered which led to a question to the user.
