Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate different approaches to expert system design and implementation. The resulting research information was used to create a microcomputer based expert system for the university computer services. The aim of this expert system is to help users (students, faculty, and staff) with micro computer purchases. As part of the research various interviews were conducted with prospective computer purchasers and the micro computer experts. This approach was taken to ensure that the system was easy to use and that it provided all users with vital information reg

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the problem of providing explanations for expert systems implemented in a shell that supports a hybrid knowledge representation architecture. Hybrid representations combine rules and frames and are the predominant architecture in intermediate and high-end commercial expert system shells. The main point of the thesis is that frames can be endowed with explanation capabilities on a par with rules. The point is illustrated by a partial specification for an expert system shell and sample explanations which could be generated by an expert system coded to that specification. A

Abstract:
Expert system technology has been brought from Artificial Intelligence research laboratories to the real world over the last decade. However, to date, there are few expert systems that have been developed for foundation design work. The problems are due to technical and psychological factors and are similiar to those when computers were firstly introduced. In this thesis, the difficulties of building expert systems for foundation engineering application are identified. The work in this thesis is an attempt to study the applicability of expert systems to foundation design and find solutions

Abstract:
The continuous increase in the cost of building real life projects, the high cost of researches concerning a project and the urgent demands for the project to be delivered in a short period of time have urged researchers to find a new scheme of programming in which they would be able to simulate or emulate the real life activities and projects using a computer and a procedural language. But such a scheme of programming was lengthy, tedious and costly. Therefore, it was necessary to find a specialized simulation software that would save the programmer's time and effort on the one hand and would

The ability of an expert system to explain its reasoning is fundamental to the system's credibility. Explanations become even more vital in systems which use methods of uncertainty propagation.

This toolkit has been used in the development of three small ecological expert systems.

The quest to build anthropomorphic machines has led researchers to focus on knowledge and the manipulation thereof. Recently, the expert system was proposed as a solution, working well in small, well understood domains.

Attempts to circumvent this problem have led researchers to propose the use of machine learning databases as a source of knowledge. Attempts to utilise databases as sources of knowledge has led to t

Abstract:
This thesis explores whether computer-based expert systems can be used in planning and, if so, under what circumstances. Expert systems are computer-based programs that solve problems in a way that mimics the human reasoning process. Expert system reasoning relies upon logic and rules-of-thumb rather than the numerical and mathematical algorithms of most other computer programs. Planning has been interpreted in the professional context of urban and regional planning, rather than the cross-disciplinary fiscal or project management planning often implied in computer literature.

A major problem with alarm processing and fault diagnosis in power systems is the reliance on the circuit alarm status. If there is too much information available and the time of arrival of the information is random due to weather conditions etc., the alarm activity is not easily interpreted by system operators. In respect of these problems, this thesis sets out the work that has been carried out to design and evaluate a diagnostic tool which assists power system operators during a heavy period of alarm activity in condition monitoring.

Using an expert system to make decision making more reliable has been well studied and implemented over the years. For effective use, both data-driven questions (forward chaining) and goal-driven questions (backward chaining) need to be supported. Similarly, an avenue to update rules in the system as and when they change without major recompilation should be available. In this thesis we present an expert system framework that can help small water system operators make informed decisions regarding compliance with various EPA rules that may apply to them.
