BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-82-926 ENTRY:: June 01, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Principles of rule-based expert systems TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Buchanan, Bruce G. AUTHOR:: Duda, Richard O. DATE:: August 1982 PAGES:: 62 ABSTRACT:: Rule-based expert systems are surveyed. The most important considerations are representation and inference. Rule-based systems make strong assumptions about the representation of knowledge as conditional sentences and about the control of inference in one of three ways. The problem of reasoning with incomplete or inexact information is also discussed, as are several other issues regarding the design of expert systems.
