Michael D Stiber Theory and application of expert systems:
computer systems that capture and use human expertise.
Applications include computer configuration, fault diagnosis,
computer-aided instruction, data interpretation, planning and
prediction, and process control. Prerequisite: CSS 343; may not
be repeated. CSS 482 will introduce you to a completely
different way of programming, in which you specify rules of
behavior, rather than algorithms. This is an especially powerful
approach for problems that change often or where solutions
involve application of human knowledge, rather than intricate
calculations. Since their commercial introduction in the early
1980s, expert systems have undergone tremendous growth,
representing the most successful application of artificial
intelligence technology. Today, they are used in business,
science, engineering, manufacturing, etc. Example applications
include: computer configuration, fault diagnosis, computer-aided
instruction, data interpretation, planning and predicti
