Features: This book is a renowned textbook and reference in the field of artificial intelligence, providing a detailed introduction to the basic principles and programming techniques of expert systems, including theoretical knowledge and rule-based applications. It reflects the latest trends in the rapidly evolving field of expert systems. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1 introduces the fundamental theories of expert systems and offers a comprehensive discussion on artificial intelligence and its relationship with expert systems; Part 2 focuses on application techniques, including the CLIPS expert system tool and the new object-oriented language COOL. Readers will learn how to develop a complete expert system using the COOL language by defining rules and objects. This book is a famous textbook on expert systems, covering the principles of expert systems in depth and discussing their practical applications in detail using CLIPS. The book includes content such as knowledge representation, reasoning methods, uncertain reasoning, imprecise reasoning, CLIPS, advanced pattern matching, modular design, execution control, rule efficiency, procedural programming, classes, instances, and message handling. The book combines theory with practice, progressing from simple to complex, and provides a theoretical foundation and programming guidance for understanding and designing expert systems. The accompanying CD-ROM includes CLIPS programs, source code, and other relevant documents. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science-related fields, as well as a reference for professionals in related disciplines.
