Systematic Introduction to Expert Systems

At present one of the main obstacles to a broaderapplication of expert systems is the lack of a theory totell us which problem-solving methods areavailable for agiven problem class. Such a theory could lead to significantprogress in the following central aims of the expert systemtechnique:- Evaluating the technical feasibility of expert systemprojects: This depends on whether there is a suitableproblem-solving method, and if possible a correspondingtool, for the given problem class.- Simplifying
