Abstract
Since the beginning of the 70's, a special field of computer science, "Artificial Intelligence", (AI), has made significant progress even though the early hype meanwhile has calmed down. From the early fundamental research during the 80's the first commercial products evolved, the "Expert Systems" or knowledge-based systems. By means of such software tools knowledge is formalizable, storable and processable in the form of objects, cases and rules. The deduction of facts is achieved through instantiation of cases and rules with real object data and evaluation of these rules by a deducing algorithm called "Inference Engine".
