Most expert system designers suffer from knowledge acquisition complications. Expert system shells contain facilities that can simplify knowledge acquisition to make domain experts themselves responsible for knowledge structuring and encoding. The aim of this research is to develop an Arabic Expert System Shell (AESS) for diagnosing diseases based on natural language. The suggested AESS mainly ...

1. Abstract Expert system technology seems to be the most promising type of AI application for Ada. An expert system implemented with an expert system shell provides a highly structured approach that fits well with the structured approach found in Ada systems. The current commerciaJ expert system shells use Lisp. In this highly structured situation a shell could be built that used Ada just as w...

In the design and implementation of any expert system, there are many problems should be considered and study carefully. In reality, human experts have common sense, deduction and analogical reasoning facilities. The proposed framework model for shell expert system is based on the integration of two different knowledge representation formats (scheme) in the knowledge base. The proposed scheme i...

expert systems are computer programs that make the knowledge of experts available when a human expert is not with in easy reach. the systems are to simulate the thinking and inference pattern of human being. the ultimate goal of expert system is to be analogous to human as much as possible. utilizing the intelligent system in commerce is indispensable for establishing a better connection with c...

In this paper we describe role of expert systems in the natural resource management and present the utility of prolog based expert system shell ESTA (Expert System shell for Text Animation) in the development of such an expert system. ESTA programming is based on logic programming approach. The ESTA programme has some advantages compared to other available expert system shell such as the C Lang...

The paper describes JavaDON, an open-source expert systems shell based on the OBOA framework for developing intelligent systems. The central idea of the JavaDON project was to make an easy-to-use and easy-to-extend tool for building practical expert systems. Since JavaDON is rooted in a sound theoretical framework, it is well-suited for building even complex expert system applications, both sta...

An application of expert systems for admission procedures in public school systems is presented in this chapter. The specific problem under consideration is selection of applicants for public nursery schools. The selection is supported by an expert system which evaluates, classifies and ranks applications. The main emphasis is on explanation of the underlying knowledge and solutions, suggested ...
