Features: This book introduces the principles, design techniques, and applications of expert systems, comprising 11 chapters. It provides an overview of the definition, development history, types, structures, and characteristics of expert systems, as well as the steps involved in constructing them. The book discusses various artificial intelligence methods that may be employed in the development of expert systems, explores the explanation mechanisms, development tools, and evaluation methods of expert systems in detail, and investigates the structures, reasoning techniques, design methods, and application examples of rule-based expert systems, frame-based expert systems, model-based expert systems, and web-based expert systems, respectively. It introduces programming languages for artificial intelligence and expert systems, outlines the future trends and research topics of expert systems, and briefly describes the characteristics and examples of new-generation expert systems. This book is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in electronic information, automation, automatic control, mechatronics engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, and other related disciplines. It can also serve as a reference for researchers, developers, and practitioners working in the fields of expert systems, artificial intelligence, and intelligent systems.
