About Us. The language is available free-of-charge with source code from numerous Web sites. Several of the more popular download sites are provided below. OPS One of the more popular commercial rule-based languages of the late s is now online for free: forward chaining and backward chaining. This web page is maintained by Frank Lopez. Lopez created several other rule-based languages. CLIPS 1. It was literally created within 30 feet of the Mission Control consoles you see on television, or may have seen in person if you have visited the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Figures show the results produced by the system for the diagnosis of malaria, typhoid fever and dengue fever respectively. The MDES system presents both diagnostic and treatment recommendations for malaria and related diseases. A major bottleneck of this research is seen when there are a lot of symptoms and signs requiring diverse and non-correlated diagnosis of malaria related diseases other than those in the knowledgebase, vis.
Figure 4. Figure 5. Figure 6. MDES used declarative statements to represent knowledge and the method of grouping signs, symptoms and clinical investigation results associated to therapy brought facility to user on building the knowledge base. In contrast, the use of traditional relational databases is not suitable for determining alternative options in decision making.
It is important to note that the MDES system designed here, like other expert systems, is not intended to replace clinician-experts activities but only to be a complementary tool.
The humans can elaborate decisions using their knowledge and intuition. The intuition allows the elaboration of the decisions without the use of all the necessary knowledge, this way sometimes problems, for which does not exist elaborated solving methods, can be solved. The artificial thinking prompted by expert systems allows the problems solving based on existent problem solving methods sometimes verifying many conditions.
This way, the artificial agents can solve many times the problems precisely, verifying conditions that can be ignored by the humans. The developed MDES helps doctors and patients in providing decision support system, interactive training tool and expert advice.
The system constitutes part of intelligent system of diagnosis for malaria and related diseases. The system was evaluated by doctors and patients. A number of doctors and patients tested the system and gave a feedback of possible relevant additions to the system applications. This includes the expansion of the system to include other endemic and infectious diseases of the developing countries.
Therefore, we are prepared to expand the capabilities of the MDES in future works. I wish to acknowledge my supervisors, Prof Engr G. Chukwudebe and Dr E. Ekwuwune for their untiring support to the end of this work. British Biomedical Bulletin, 2, Discovery, 2, Pearson Education, Ltd.

Ikechukwu Nkuma-Udah, K. E-Health Telecommunication Systems and Networks , 7 , Introduction An expert system is a computer system that emulates the decision making ability of a human expert [1].
Literature Review Expert System is itself a major aspect of artificial intelligence, which is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans [6] [7] [8] [9]. General Applications of Expert Systems The spectrum of applications of expert systems technology to solve problems in industrial, commercial and other areas is so wide as to defy easy categorization. As a category of expert system, Diagnosis and Troubleshooting of Devices and Figure 1.

Inputs are read from the user upon answering these queries.
Then these inputs are being asserted as facts to expand the knowledge base of the expert system for further use. Based on the different choices picked by the user, it will suggest food items based on their preferences. CLIPS is a fairly easy language to understand that works on basic principles and yet manages to create deep complex systems.
Basic syntax and a good understanding of rules and facts is good enough to start creating basic artificially intelligent expert systems of your own. After this, if you are still craving for more then I recommend going through this book — Expert Systems: Principles and Programming, Fourth Edition. Artificial Intelligence seems daunting to many people and they it is tedious task to learn it. It got me really hooked to explore deeper into the uncharted territory.
In this way CLIPS becomes a far more viable option to create expert systems rather than using large procedural codes. Expert Systems can also be used in websites to give desired results based on user preferences.
It is an artificially intelligent Expert System that suggests food items based user preference of different tastes. I hope that you have learned something new and if you found this useful, kindly share it to help others as well. This a good article that describes an introduction to Expert System it can be scaled later and improved to run on all platforms i. It also gives a good introduction to machine learning, that is machine behaving like human beings.
Kindly include the requirements to run such a program for new beginners. This is a excellent article, I congratulate you for sharing your experiences. I would like you to tell me how you have generated a library dll with the CLIPS inference engine to use with your recommendation page.
