A computer program that uses knowledge and reasoning techniques to solve problems normally requiting the abilities of human experts; software that applies human like reasoning involving rules and heuristics to solve a problem. (7/96)
A computer program that attempts to represent expert knowledge, and use this knowledge to solve real world problems.
A computer program for making a recommendation, which tailors its recommendation to the user's situation by following a variable path of reasoning dependent upon data given it by the user. One example would be a program to recommend grain marketing strategies based on the user's risk and profit goals, availability of storage, proximity to markets, etc.
An interactive knowledge-based system that responds to questions, asks for clarification, makes recommendations, and generally helps users make complex decisions. (See also assistant system.)
software that applies knowledge and reasoning techniques that involve rules and heuristics to solve problems normally requiring the abilities of human experts.
A computer program that mimics a human expert.
Typically a set of rules or a decision tree which aids an individual to make good decisions in an area where that individual is not an expert. Usually, subject matter experts are interviewed by the software developers to determine the steps the expert would use to make a particular decision. Sometimes experts are followed by note-taking observers as the experts go about formulating decisions. This often reveals that the expert was not aware of all the steps and questions used.

A computer program, based on various artificial intelligence techniques, performing a specialized difficult task at the level of a human expert. An expert system is frequently partitioned into a knowledge base, an inference engine, and (possibly) an explanation mechanism.
A computer program designed to simulate human decision making strategies in a particular field, or fields.
domain specific knowledge base combined with an inference engine that processes knowledge encoded in the knowledge base to respond to a user's request for advice.
A computer system, typically based on artificial intelligence techniques, that represents and applies knowledge to provide expert quality advice, diagnoses and recommendations for solving real world problems. Typically made up of knowledge bases and an inference engine.
A computer system programmed to imitate the problem-solving procedures that a human expert makes. For example, in a medical system the user might enter data like the patient's symptoms, lab reports, etc., and derive from the computer a possible diagnosis. The success of an expert system depends on the quality of the data provided to the computer, and the rules the computer has been programmed with for making deductions from that data.

An expert system is a computer program that simulates the judgement and behavior of a human or an organization that has expert knowledge and experience in a particular field. Typically, such a system contains a knowledge base containing accumulated experience and a set of rules for applying the knowledge base to each particular situation that is described to the program. Sophisticated expert systems can be enhanced with additions to the knowledge base or to the set of rules.

These are programmers run on computers, which attempt to store all the known information on a particular subject usually obtained from the experts in that field. In operation these system try to emulate an expert's thought process in order to solve problems i.e. medical diagnosis.
A type of artificial intelligence computer system that mimics human experts by using rules and heuristics rather than deterministic algorithms.
A software system with two basic components: a knowledge base and an inference engine. The system mimics an expert's reasoning process.
Problem-solving and decision-making system based on knowledge of its task and logical rules or procedures for using the knowledge. Both the knowledge and the logic are codified from the experience of human specialists in the field (the domain experts). Codification can take many forms, including rules, frames, or scripts. Examples in meteorology include systems used for the interpretation of satellite imagery and for fog and turbulence forecasting. See also knowledge-based system.
n. An application program that makes decisions or solves problems in a particular field, such as finance or medicine, by using knowledge and analytical rules defined by experts in the field. It uses two components, a knowledge base and an inference engine, to form conclusions. Additional tools include user interfaces and explanation facilities, which enable the system to justify or explain its conclusions as well as allowing developers to run checks on the operating system. See also artificial intelligence, inference engine, intelligent database, knowledge base.
An expert system, also known as a knowledge based system, is a computer program that contains some of the subject-specific knowledge of one or more human experts. This class of program was first developed by researchers in artificial intelligence during the 1960s and 1970s and applied commercially throughout the 1980s. The most common form of expert systems is a program made up of a set of rules that analyze information (usually supplied by the user of the system) about a specific class of problems, as well as providing mathematical analysis of the problem(s), and, depending upon their design, recommend a course of user action in order to implement corrections.
