The RETE algorithm is an efficient well-organized pattern matching algorithm for implementing production rule systems. The present paper focuses on the RETE algorithm to support disjunctive relationships using “or” connectivity and use the shadow proxy mechanism to update objects in the working memory. A Lemon Expert System is developed to identify the diseases of lemon crop to diagnose the dis...
