In this study, an expert system was developed for a quadricycle four bar mechanism with control of transmission angle. Different types of available synthesis methods are studied and the suitable synthesis procedure is selected for developing the expert system.

This issue of the Journal is devoted to being a little more explicit about the miracle that occurs in expert systems. In this issue, Dr. DeTore offers an eloquent explanation of expert system fundamentals. Dr. Burr argues that expert systems can be useful in several kinds of projects; the objectives must be clear before the expert system is designed. Paul Howman shares MONY’s experience in deve...

The building damage assessment is a very important task after a strong earthquake. For taking decisions about the building habitability and reparability it is necessary evaluate the building damage, but the expert professionals are insufficient, and therefore voluntary non-experts professionals must be including in the task. This personnel type displays the tendency to aggravate or to underesti...

To meet the needs of remote monitoring of greenhouse environment parameters, combined with embedded technology and 3G communication technology, a scheme of greenhouse environment parameter information real-time monitoring and control based on the Android phone platform is proposed in this paper. The paper gives the system's overall design, describes the design of each module, writes greenhouse ...

Models ofconsensus are used in the validation process to develop a basis for system performance. This paper develops two analytic models ofconsensus that can be useful in the validation process. The first model employs the binomial model to study the probability that the consensus judgment is correct or incorrect. This problem is critical for the validation of expert systems, since the model le...

Although the explanation capability of expert systems is usually listed as one of the distinguishing characteristics of these systems, the explanation facilities of most existing systems are quite primitive. Computer generated explanations are typically produced from canned text or by diwct translation of the knowledge structures. Explanations produced in this manner bear little resemblance to ...
