Expert Systems

• The basic components of Rule Based Systems are working memory and rules.
• Less important components are the User Interface, question answering, and developmental facilities like debugging
• Chaining and conflict resolution are important
• Exam Questions
• Explain a series of rules
• Use an appropriate representation format (e.g. decision trees, and-or-trees) to describe a certain rule set.
• Develop an ES
• What conflict resolution strategy is appropriate in a certain case.
• How do rule based systems relate to CBR systems?
• What are the problems with ESs? How can they be solved?
• How do ESs relate/influence/use Knowledge Representation formats?
