Expert Systems: Principles and Practice *
نویسنده
چکیده
Most applications of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) science and technology are of a type called Expert Systems. An Expert System (ES) is a computer program that reasons using knowledge to solve complex problems. This overly brief caricature will be expanded upon below, but it serves to indicate an alignment of ES with AI’s long term goals. Traditionally, computers solve complex problems by arithmetic calculation (not reasoning using logic); and the knowledge needed to solve the problem is known only by the human programmer and used to cast the solution method in terms of algebraic formulas.
