| Of late, expert system is the biggest single use technique
amongst the artificial intelligence techniques. An expert system
is an artificial intelligent programme incorporating a knowledge
base, an inference engine and the user interface. Whether it is in
medicine, mineral exploration, evaluation of chemical structure
or in industrial applications, expert system has established its
wider role and applicability as far as expert decisions are concerned.
The biggest flexibility of an expert system is that, it permits
a non-expert to do the work of an expert. The aim of this
paper is to consolidate the various steps and methodologies for
the development, operation and application of expert system for
problem solving and in industrial applications. |
