Expert System Development On the Macintosh
A Brief Survey of Tools and Techniques
by Ann Marie O'Connell, P.E.
In addition to the wide variety of programming languages suitable for
artificial intelligence (AI) work, a number of expert system shells for the
Macintosh have been released (or upgraded) in the last 18 months. These
vary widely in features, cost, and conformance to the Macintosh interface.
A table, and some discussion comparing these expert system shells has
been prepared, based on the manufacturers advertized features, on
previously published reviews, and in the cases where working copies were
available, on the writer's own efforts to develop a small test case expert
system using the tool.
The report goes on to discuss the features which the writer found to be
most (and least) desireable in developing various types of expert systems
in her previous position as a Knowledge Engineer with Texas Instruments.
Recommendations regarding types of expert system development projects
most likely to succeed under various organizational constraints are also made.
