Abstract

The primary goal of this paper is to present a generic framework for complex medical expert system inference. The rapid prototype of an expert system can be achieved by to three system components. They are namely the object static component, presentation components and inference components. This idea is borrowed from the Model View and Control (MVC) approach. The inter-relationship between these system components are elaborated in this paper. We use PC-Kappa as our system development environment which supports an expert system development facility as well as object-oriented programming. An extension of full object-oriented techniques that is not supported by the Kappa-PC is also presented in this paper for object-oriented expert system construction
