The integration of an ES into a business environment presents a different set of problems to the designer. First, it can be difficult to isolate and draw boundaries around the domain of the business problem. Second, there is often a need to generate a large number of expert decisions in a short period of time. That is, there can be many transactions requiring some expertise to process, such as ...

This paper describes the learning part of a system which has been developed to provide expert systems capability augmented with learning. The learning scheme is a hybrid connectionist, symbolic one. A network representation is used. Learning may be done incrementally and requires only one pass through the data set to be learned. Attribute, value pairs are supported as a variable implementation....

This paper presents an expert system for Paddy production management. This expert system gives advice to Paddy growers in Egypt to improve Paddy productivity. The system contains two main parts namely: strategic part and tactic part. The strategic part gives a strategic advice (i.e. list of agricultural operations) before cultivating Paddy crop. The strategic part contains four sub-systems name...

The procedural steps for developing an expert system for designing signals at isolated intersections are described and the most important development issues for each step are discussed. The steps include problem analysis and definition, preliminary prototype specification, knowledge acquisition strategy development, prototype development plan, knowledge extraction, knowledge representation, too...

The study and control of soil erosion and the associated environmental degradation is a difficult problem because it involves a very wide body of knOWledge. The use of knowledge based expert systems in this domain may improve the current efforts by providing an efficient tool for inter-disciplinary technology transfer and application. Domain expert systems may also be used as substitutes for hu...
