Abstract:

The objective of this effort was to demonstrate the feasibility of creating an expert system development and delivery environment that would allow expert systems to be developed using easy to learn to produce systems which can be integrated in a Graphical User Interface GUI independent manner within a wide range of user interfaces and on a wide range of platforms. This effort successfully partitioned existing commercial expert system program, separating the interface engine from the GUI. The ability of expert systems to be queried and provide information about decisions and the decision making process retained. This was accomplished by designing data structures and protocols that allow the expert system to function and to interface with other programs. Direct integration was demonstrated in this proof of concept, as was the feasibility of converting the runtime program into a form that could be accessed by multiple programs simultaneously. This report details the proof of concept only. AN
