This paper describes the SECLIPS system, which provides a restricted English grammar and vocabulary designed to express the facts and rules of a rules-based knowledge base. SECLIPS is an extension of ECLIPS and allows the user to extend a core vocabulary to express a knowledge base of facts and rules for a particular problem domain. SECLIPS employs an LL(1) based translator with the grammar for...

Veska Noncheva, Nuno Marques Abstract: Our approach for knowledge presentation is based on the idea of expert system shell. At first we will build a graph shell of both possible dependencies and possible actions. Then, reasoning by means of Loglinear models, we will activate some nodes and some directed links. In this way a Bayesian network and networks presenting loglinear models are generated.

We propose an Expert System Shell based on belief revision concepts who maintains the consistency of the knowledge base. In the first phase of this expert system shell we translate a classical rule-based system in an equivalent network representation where nodes are facts, and links stand for relationships. In the second phase we propagate any change in the uncertainty measures throughout the w...

Growing complexity of diagnostic tests, combined with increased workload, stringent laboratory accreditation demands, continuous shortening of turn-around-time and budget restrictions have forced laboratories to automate most of their iterative tasks. Introduction of artificial intelligence by means of expert systems has gained an important place in this automation process. Different parts of c...

Abstract This paper have shown an expert system design by using optimization methods for the Focused ion beam FIB optical system, by mixing the dynamic programming procedure and artificial intelligence technique to build an intelligent agent. CADION ANALYZER has been designed as an interpretation expert system, written in Java expert system shell (JESS) and Visual Basic.Net for optimizing and a...

SPIRIT is an expert system shell for probabilistic knowledge bases. Knowledge acquisition is performed by processing facts and rules on discrete variables in a rich syntax. The shell generates a probability distribution which respects all acquired facts and rules and which maximizes entropy. The user-friendly devices of SPIRIT to define variables, formulate rules and create the knowledge base a...

In this paper, an approach to decision making in managing human resources that integrates multi-attribute decision making techniques with expert systems is described. The approach is based on the explicit articulation of qualitative decision knowledge which is represented by a tree of attributes and decision rules. The decision making process is supported by DEXi, a specialized expert system sh...

An expert system for material selection for design of automotive component with fibre reinforced plastic materials has been developed. The expert-system shell KEE (Knowledge Engineering Environment) provides a tool to store and process expert knowledge. The system concentrates on selecting suitable materials for automotive components, in particular for major elements of pedal box system namely ...

To facilitate decision making in the area of road maintenance, the Directorate of Roads in France decided five years ago to use AI techniques and to make an expert system called Erasme available to various government agencies. Erasme was developed with SMECI, a high-level expert system shell, and integrates innovative AI concepts. During June to November 1989, Erasme was submitted to 25 sites f...

This paper presents a tool, which can be described as an expert system shell specialized for the application domain of checking electronic hardware designs with respect to a set of design rules. The shell has been used successfully to represent various kinds of design rules and to check real integrated circuit designs. We will first discuss concept of application specific shell in general. Then...
