Abstract

An expert system is a computer program that performs a task in the same way as a human expert does within a well-defined domain. Significant progress has been made during the past decade in developing advanced techniques for designing expert systems, including knowledge acquisition and truth maintenance, explanation facilities, handling of uncertainties, and management of a large number of rules. As a result, a number of sophisticated expert systems have been implemented for a variety of applications in diverse fields. However, most of the expert systems developed so far are consultation-oriented, performing analysis, diagnosis, planning, forecasting and tutoring, as special tools for the operators, by applying a symbolic inference mechanism to static system knowledge.
