Abstract :
A tool, called HEXPERT, is presented for building expert systems. HEXPERT has been developed by integrating several techniques and ideas known to relax the difficulty of development of expert systems and to enhance their performance. It provides an environment where the knowledge base is formulated from several subknowledge bases each of which is represented using a object-oriented programming technology and processed in any of three inferring directions, the forward, the backward, and the mixed direction. It also provides two browsers. To transfer data between expert systems and database management systems, HEXPERT can communicate to the INGRES database management system
